This project falls under the energy and related services category, aiming to advance low-carbon and sustainable energy solutions. The market engagement period will occur from 20 December 2018 to 26 January 2019, with meetings and site visits needing to be scheduled by 12 January 2019. Interested suppliers should prepare to engage actively during this timeframe to influence the technical specifications for the imminent tender process. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in energy technology, particularly those with expertise in carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technologies. Companies that can demonstrate innovative solutions, have a track record in related installation, or can effectively discuss equipment requirements will find this a fitting opportunity. The University seeks to work closely with potential suppliers to refine the project specifications, making this an ideal scenario for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their market reach in the environmental technology sector. ## Notice Low-carbon, sustainable energy generation with Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) is a key priority for the UK and internationally, with significant global opportunities for technology development and commercialisation. With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre. The Centre will provide a multi-technology, integrated RD&D platform which will bring together a range of energy generation and CCUS facilities. This will promote research and innovation, as well as demonstrate individual and integrated energy systems enabling businesses to evaluate these low carbon / renewable technologies with the purpose of encouraging their uptake. EQUIPMENT: In order to expand current equipment portfolio, the new centre will have a range of bio-energy, conventional energy (heat and power) and CCUS facilities. We are looking to procure a membrane based CO2 capture system to further enhance our research capabilities. THIS NOTICE: We are highlighting this opportunity to potential suppliers. We are also launching a market consultation exercise to help inform a realistic technical specification for the forthcoming tender process, and to engage with potential suppliers to better understand the following: 1. The range of technologies offered and available on the market 2. How the above attributes can be potentially achieved and what are the limitations 3. Installation requirements and constraints 4. Informal approximate costs 5. Technologies track record The tender process will follow separately after the market engagement exercise and will be advertised through OJEU and Contracts Finder. MARKET ENGAGEMENT: The market engagement will be held between 20/12/2018 and 26/01/2019. Meetings and site visits must be arranged no later than by 12/01/2019. FORMAT: Individual, non-confidential meetings, either face-to-face or via the telephone or teleconferencing software, or a combination of the above. Site visits are encouraged to enable discussion in the context of the installation space. A questionnaire will be used to guide the discussions and record responses & are available on request when arranging the meeting/site visit. Up to a total of 4 hrs has been allocated for each party, to be utilised in one block or multiple sessions. CONTACT: Suppliers are encouraged to contact Dr. Muhammad Akram m.akram@sheffield.ac.uk , +44 (0) 07882354122 in the first instance to make arrangements for site visits/meetings. ADDRESS: University of Sheffield UNIT 2, Crown Works Industrial Estate Rotherham Road Beighton Sheffield S20 1AH Additional information: Site visits or meetings must be arranged by the 12th January 2019 and occur on or before the 26th January 2019. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a9dc640-b8ed-44f9-b18d-3085228fffda | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Jan 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S10 2TN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | Broomhill and Sharrow Vale | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 18 Dec 2018 at 12:10 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a9dc640-b8ed-44f9-b18d-3085228fffda - 18 Dec 2018 at 12:05 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a9dc640-b8ed-44f9-b18d-3085228fffda ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8a9dc640-b8ed-44f9-b18d-3085228fffda 18th December 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
