The project is based on utilising the latent heat contained within the water that flows in the River Clyde in Glasgow. Through the use of high efficiency, low carbon heat pumps, that heat can be amplified to a level that will be able to interface with existing buildings' heating systems and provide thermal comfort. ### Procurement Information Culture and Sport Glasgow ("CSG") has as one of its key strategic priorities the reduction of the carbon emissions and related energy costs associated with heating buildings in Glasgow operated by CSG, including the Glasgow Club Gorbals Leisure Centre. CSG considers that this strategic priority regarding decarbonisation of heat can best be achieved through the utilisation of innovative and renewable heat pump technology. In addition, CSG requires to contribute to Glasgow City Council's strategic priority to regenerate and reintegrate the River Clyde back into the city of Glasgow, as both a resource for the city and a provider of amenity for the citizens of Glasgow. The project with Star Renewable Energy Limited ("Star"), which is being undertaken pursuant to the Scottish Government's Low Carbon Infrastructure Transition Programme demonstration fund, is based on utilising the latent heat contained within the water that flows in the River Clyde. Through the use of a high efficiency, low carbon heat pump, that heat can be amplified to a level that will be able to interface with existing buildings heating systems and provide thermal comfort. Having regard to the above key strategic priorities and its requirements regarding the supply of low cost, low carbon heat to the Glasgow Club Gorbals Leisure Centre, CSG considers that competition for such supply is absent for technical reasons and that no reasonable, commercially viable alternative or substitute supply exists that would meet CSG's requirements. The size, configuration and combination of the heat pump technology solutions offered by Star have specific characteristics and functionality which satisfies CSG's particular requirements. It is considered not to be technically possible for a supplier other than Star to provide competitively-priced heat supply in a way which meets CSG's requirements. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL325081 | | Notice type | OJEU - F25 - Concession Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Jun 2018 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,600,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GLASGOW LIFE (CULTURE & SPORT GLASGOW) | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G4 0QW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | Calton | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09300000 - Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy ## Release History - 10 Jul 2018 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F25 - Concession Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL325081 - 25 Jun 2018 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN323312 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN323312 Heat Supply at Gorbals Sports Centre - Heat supply contract - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUL325081 Heat Supply at Gorbals Sports Centre - Heat supply contract ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000547799 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
