This project falls under the industry category of district heating mains construction work and is located in Hebburn, UK. A market engagement event is set to take place around the week commencing 15th March 2021, with interested parties required to express their interest by 10th March 2021. The subsequent OJEU notice is expected to be issued by April 2021. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in construction, engineering, and environmental services, particularly those specialising in renewable energy solutions. Companies that can provide expertise in district heating systems, particularly those utilising innovative heat sources like mine water, will find this project especially relevant. Participation in the upcoming market engagement event will allow firms to contribute to shaping the procurement requirements and gain insights into the project scope, paving the way for potential collaboration and growth in the public sector. ## Notice The scheme involves the installation of a district heating system serving several Council owned buildings in central Hebburn, utilising the disused mine workings under Hebburn as a heat source. The installation of such a district heating scheme will reduce the Council's reliance on gas to provide heating and significantly contribute to the Council's commitment to its Carbon Reduction targets, and this scheme alone will provide a saving of 319 tonnes year saving. A separate contract has been awarded to undertake the drilling of two boreholes, and the construction of permanent abstraction and re-injection wells. The water source heat pump adopted in this project will be able to source heat from both the mine water as well as ambient air (via dry air cooler) in the event that the mines are found to be unable to provide a sustainable mine water heat source. The scheme will include the construction of a new Energy Centre that will include the water /air source heat pumps, filtration plant and heat exchangers, to harvest the mine water, and distribute it via the district heating network (approximately 300m) serving the Council buildings. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is contributing 50% funding to the overall scheme. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Supplier Engagement: South Tyneside Council would like to undertake a market engagement event with organisations interesting in tendering for and delivering these works.
