This procurement falls under the works category, and the tender process is at the active stage. Interested parties can submit their bids electronically until 17:00 on 17th June 2019. The total budget for this project is £81,600, which includes VAT, reflecting the centre's intent to install a biomass boiler capable of efficiently heating both the main building and accommodation facilities. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy solutions and sustainable building services. Companies that have experience with biomass boiler installations, particularly those capable of managing larger scale projects, would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The emphasis on energy efficiency and renewable resources aligns with the growing market demand for sustainable heating solutions, making this an attractive prospect for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the green technology sector. ## Notice LAC would like to install a Biomass boiler(s) of an appropriate size for the property, and with sufficient capacity to heat both the Main Building and the Accommodation. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Lyth Arts Centre (LAC) is the UK's most northerly mainland multi-arts centre. Every year we host a 10 month programme of music, theatre, dance and visual arts, usually from March to December. We also host artists residencies where artists stay at LAC for a prolonged period of time and create new work. LAC is sited over two individual buildings; the Arts Centre (referred to in this document as 'Main Building') and the Accommodation block. In 2018, Resource Efficient Scotland conducted an energy consumption review and identified Biomass as a financially and economically sustainable heating alternative to the current system of expensive and inefficient electric storage heaters, which account for around 75% of the organsiations energy consumption. Subsequently, LAC has successfully received funding from Highland LEADER to install a biomass boiler and wet radiator system, to the value of 68,000 GBP (81,600 GBP including VAT). This document forms the specification for the works to be carried out. The contractor is ultimately responsible for designing and installing a working system that provides adequate heat into the property. Since the funding is coming from public sources, LAC will not be eligible for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). It is considered essential that site visits are undertaken to adequately respond to this tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY354531 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 May 2019 | | Submission deadline | 17 Jun 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 17 Jun 2019 - 30 Nov 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £81,600 | | Lots value | £81,600 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LYTH ARTS CENTRE LTD | | Locality | WICK | | Post town | Kirkwall | | Postcode | KW1 4UD | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Wick and East Caithness | | Westminster constituency | Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross | | Delivery location | TLM61 Caithness and Sutherland, and Ross and Cromarty | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 39 - Furniture (incl. office furniture), furnishings, domestic appliances (excl. lighting) and cleaning products ### Codes - 39715000 - Water heaters and heating for buildings; plumbing equipment ## Release History - 16 May 2019 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY354531 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAY354531&idx=1 20th May 2019 - LAC Biomass Tender Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY354531 Biomass Project at Lyth Arts Centre - LAC would like to install a Biomass boiler(s) of an appropriate size for the property, and with sufficient capacity to heat both the Main Building and the Accommodation. ## Notice URLs - http://www.lytharts.org.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000583688 - https://lytharts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/LAC-Biomass-Tender-Document-compressed.pdf - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=583688 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
