The procurement method was a limited Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £750,000, was signed on 12th September 2022. The contracting authority is the Oxford Brookes University located in Oxford, UK. The industry category of the contract is services under the repair and maintenance services of electrical and mechanical building installations. This tender for the Geothermal Heating system operation performance contract by Oxford Brookes University can provide opportunities for businesses in the heating plant repair and maintenance industry as well as those offering heating engineering services for buildings. Companies that specialise in geothermal technologies and energy-efficient systems may find this tender particularly relevant due to the proprietary nature of the Erda Geo-exchange System. Being a large-scale contract, it can be a significant opportunity for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in the maintenance and operation of specialised energy systems. ## Notice The Erda Geo-exchange System is a proprietary system and hence there are no alternative operation and maintenance arrangements available in the market and therefore no means of providing competition for this contract. In order to implement the system, a technology licence has been signed which confirms the protection of the rights related to the Erda Smart Energy system. The construction of the Geo-exchange infrastructure and its commissioning has been undertaken by Black Mountain as a licensed installer for Erda Energy. The university will be unable to operate, maintain or ensure the optimisation of the Geo-exchange heating and cooling system, or may require a substantial reinstallation of the controls and integration systems to enable a third party to operate it. If the latter, equivalent system performance would not be assured. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Erda Geo-exchange System is a proprietary system and hence there are no alternative operation and maintenance arrangements available in the market and therefore no means of providing competition for this contract.
