## Summary

The Dumfries and Galloway Council, based in Dumfries, UK, has launched a tender titled "Installation of Boiler Load Optimisation Controls to Heating Systems." This initiative falls under the goods category and is aimed at enhancing heating systems across several of the Council’s commercial properties. The procurement method selected for this process is limited, with an award procedure conducted without prior publication of a call for competition. The key date for this tender is recorded as September 7, 2018, marking it as a significant step in the contract's lifecycle, although the status is marked as cancelled.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in energy-efficient technologies and boiler systems, particularly those capable of providing the Sabien M2G product, which has been identified as the only solution able to meet the Council's specifications. Companies focused on reducing gas consumption and CO2 emissions could greatly benefit from engaging in this tender process. This contract not only aims to achieve a remarkable financial payback within 6.1 years but also aligns well with businesses seeking to innovate in energy conservation and management solutions in the public sector.

## Notice

Installation of specialist boiler optimisation control equipment to prevent boiler dry cycling in a number of Dumfries and Galloway Council's commercial properties. The solution should: - reduce gas consumption and CO2 emissions by between 10% and 25%. - Integrate and complement existing controls including Building Management Systems (BMS), variable temperature control, weather compensation, sequencing and on-demand control. - be retrofitted to existing boilers or installed with new boilers. - be compatible with natural gas, oil and LPG fired boilers (Dumfries and Galloway Council has a mix of all of these) and with heating systems with constant and variable temperature requirements. - Can deliver financial payback within an average of 6.1 years (our business case anticipated a payback of 10 years). The average product lifespan is considered to be 10 years. This is in line with the Council's business case.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Following market research conducted by the Council's Sustainable Development and Procurement teams into this technology, the result suggested that the installation of the M2G product could be considered further on a trial basis as a proof of concept exercise to determine whether the technology can deliver: - Energy savings of between 10% and 25%. - Payback within a 10 year period. - A favourable return on investment. The trial was conducted at three sites at schools in Dumfries. Findings from the trial found that: - an average energy saving of 12% could be achieved across all Council sites. - The average payback would be 6.1 years. The product is expected to have an average life of 10 years. - A return on investment of 142% The market research conducted found that only one supplier can produce this product and hold the patent for this technology. Therefore, it is felt that the publication of a VEAT notice is the most appropriate method to procure this product for Dumfries and Galloway Council.
