## Summary

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Contract for the capital funding, installation and maintenance of an IT data centre as part of a renewable energy project at RUH." This project falls under the category of "Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy" within the goods procurement sector. The contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it falls outside the scope of the directive. The main objective is to capture excess generated heat and return it to the RUH ecosystem, thereby reducing energy costs and enhancing sustainability. The contract has been awarded to Deep Green Energy on 19 February 2025, and it involves the installation at the Royal United Hospital Bath site's address: Combe Park, Bath, BA1 3NG, in the UKK12 region.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the renewable energy, IT infrastructure, and facility management sectors, particularly those specialising in innovative heat recovery and data centre management solutions. Companies that can provide expertise in high-demand IT cooling systems, renewable energy solutions, and sustainable infrastructure projects would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. By participating in such contracts, businesses can leverage their capabilities to contribute to and benefit from the increasing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability in the public sector. Collaborating on projects with high social, environmental, and economic value can also enhance the business profile and offer substantial market exposure.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Contract for the capital funding, installation and maintenance of an IT data centre as part of a renewable energy project at RUH. Objective to capture excess generated heat and return to the RUH ecosystem. The award will be via a direct award to Deep Green Energy and will have no option to extend.

### Procurement Information

Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust (referred to as RUH) intends to award a contract under regulation 32(2)(b)(ii), to Deep Green Energy (referred to as Deep Green) for the installation of a data centre with a peak IT load of 800kw. The objective for the RUH is to harness heat generated by the data centre and return it to the RUH ecosystem, making substantial savings in terms of cost and energy. 

Deep Green is supported by Octopus Energy Generation and has been backed by PS200 million of capital funding to develop data centres in suitable facilities.

Deep Green propose to install a modern data centre where IT infrastructure has a high cooling demand and thus generates 'waste heat'. This heat would be captured and piped directly into the RUH heat network.

In return for a twenty-year lease arrangement Green Heat would fund, install, maintain and manage the delivery of the data centre, resulting in the described heat generation. This would also include the funding of an electrical connection from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO).

The award of this contract would result in the following benefits:

1) The installation of a modern data centre which generates heat that can be pumped back into the RUH heat system.
2) The achievement of key RUH targets relating to sustainability, including an annual carbon saving of 548tCO2e.
3) A significant saving in annual energy costs. 
4) Provide the RUH with the ability to introduce a modern technology using renewable energy initiatives, without capital or revenue outlay by the Trust. Not awarding this contract would result in a loss of funding to the Trust and a missed opportunity for fully funded heat decarbonisation. 

RUH has reviewed the benefits outlined above and Deep Green's niche position in this market and have assessed that awarding this contract enables the Trust to satisfy an optimal combination of commercial, sustainability and social value targets.

RUH will observe a 10-day standstill from the date of this notice before entering into a contract with Deep Green Energy.
