This procurement is part of the goods category, specifically focusing on generating sets with spark-ignition engines. The procurement stage is currently classified as planned, with the tender period set to conclude on 20th November 2021. Interested parties should note that the delivery addresses are within the UK, and the first notice for future opportunities is expected on 1st April 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in renewable energy technologies, specifically those with expertise in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engines, servicing kits, and maintenance solutions. Companies capable of delivering containerised CHP plants, understanding whole life costs, and providing innovative solutions for energy efficiency would be well-suited to participate. The project aligns with Severn Trent Water's commitment to enhancing renewable energy production, thereby providing a platform for growth in this vital industry. ## Notice STW has a keen focus on Renewable Energy and has been utilising gas produced from the sewerage treatment process since the 1960's to provide power and heat to the same process. From the early 2000's we embarked on a journey to increase our renewable energy production by investing in new technologies such as Acid Phase digestion and more recently Thermal Hydrolysis Plants, and therefore increasing our gas yield. Currently we have a Fleet of 48 CHP Engines ranging from 190KW to 1410KW. 4 x MAN 190KW 6 x Perkins 290KW - 500KW 38 x Jenbacher (2, 3 & 4 series) 330KW - 1410KW We have an ongoing Capital Investment Programme to replace our CHP at end of life, full refurbishment @ 60,000 hrs and replacement @ 120,000 hrs. Our objective is to maximise efficiency from our Combined Heat and Power Units as an integrated part of our Bioresources Department, alongside other technologies such as Biogas Upgrading Plants which feed directly into the Natural Gas network. Therefore, the purpose of this RFI is to understand commercially available CHP engines and associated servicing kits, and spares to allow service and maintenance to be carried out by STW. We request that participants consider the following: * Base Cost of a Containerised CHP Plant - We would like information relating to your nearest option for 500Kwe, 800Kwe and 1MWe * Whole Life Cost (Unit WLC at this stage) of a Standard Containerised CHP Plant - including servicing kits * Potential to retrospectively fit a power skid into an existing container if required. * Electrical and Thermal Output * Take into account that the current servicing and maintenance of our CHP fleet is carried out by STW's own in-house team (CHP Technicians), and going forward this will be the expectation as well. ### Lot Information Lot 1 STW has a keen focus on Renewable Energy and has been utilising gas produced from the sewerage treatment process since the 1960's to provide power and heat to the same process.
