## Summary

The procurement process involves Community Energy Scotland, based in Inverness, UK, seeking tenders for the "Smart domestic heating and hot water systems and electric vehicle smart chargers" project. This initiative, under the main goods procurement category, addresses the installation of heating and EV charger solutions within the Orkney region. The tender was initiated on August 23, 2018, with a deadline for submission extended to September 28, 2018.

### Lot Information

Smart Domestic Heating and Hot Water Systems

The SMart IsLands Energy system (SMILE) Orkney Demonstrator will focus on installing controllable electrical demand within Zone 1 of Orkney's Active Network Management (ANM) scheme (see Section 3 - Project Area), in order to reduce the curtailment of community-owned renewable generation in the same Zone on the islands of Rousay and Eday, whilst providing intelligent and affordable energy to end users. Domestic Hot Water and Central Heating installations will support the increase in electricity demand at appropriate times to reduce levels of curtailment. It is expected that domestic heat installations will consist of up to 50 properties; which can be sub-divided into four Types, based on the different technologies to be implemented, as follows (further information can be found in the ITT documents): c.15 x "Type 1" installations using internally heated Sunamp UniQ Phase Change Material (PCM) heat battery thermal stores and VCharge 'Dynamo' controllers linked to existing heat sources; c.15 x "Type 2" installations using Air to water Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) combined with internally heated Sunamp UniQ PCM heat battery thermal stores and VCharge 'Dynamo' controllers; c.10 x "Type 3" installations using ASHPs, hot water thermal stores and VCharge 'Dynamo' controllers; and Up to 10 x "Type 4" installations using ASHPs, hot water thermal stores, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and VCharge 'Dynamo' controllers..
