## Summary

The Portsmouth City Council is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process for a Combined Heat & Power Engine under a Multi Contractor Framework Agreement intended for the Portsmouth & Sub-Region. This initiative aims to facilitate the purchase, installation, and ongoing maintenance of Combined Heat and Power Engines (CHP). The award of the framework and the live project contract is expected to occur by September 2019, with the contract period spanning four years, potentially extendable by another two. Tender submissions will close on Friday, 2nd August 2019, at 14:00, and a bidders briefing is scheduled for Wednesday, 3rd July 2019, at the Mountbatten Leisure Centre.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in the supply, installation, and maintenance of heating and power generation technologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the framework's inclusive nature, which allows for up to six contractors to be appointed based on scoring. The potential contract value for the whole life of the project, including installation and servicing, is estimated at £600,000, and businesses offering innovative solutions that meet the project's varied requirements could find valuable opportunities for growth. They may submit proposals for different CHP systems, catering to a variety of site uses beyond just leisure centres.

## Notice

Portsmouth City Council - the 'Council' - is inviting tenders for inclusion onto a multi contractor framework agreement that will be used to let the purchase, installation and ongoing maintenance of Combined Heat and Power Engines (CHP). Award of the framework and live project contract is targeted for September 2019. The agreement will run for a period of 4 years with an option to extend for a further 2 years. The framework agreement will be established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following live project: o Supply, installation and ongoing maintenance of a CHP engine at the Mountbatten Leisure Centre. The project will be let on an individual basis to the contractor who achieve the highest score. That contractor plus the next ranking contractors up to a maximum total number of 6 will be appointed onto the framework agreement. Call-off contracts may then be let on a ranked direct award or mini-competition basis The whole life contract value (supply, installation & 15 year servicing package) is estimated to be ?600,000. In 2018 the Mountbatten Leisure Centre's gas usage totalled 3,200,000 kWh and electricity usage totalled 2,100,000 kWh. This electricity load is a reduction on previous years due to energy efficiency projects such as new lighting and VSD's being installed. Half hourly gas and electricity data for 2018 - 2019 can be found in supporting documents (note data is for the whole site).
