This procurement falls under the services category and is currently in the Award stage, with an active contract dated June 17, 2021, valued at £13,052. The procurement method used is selective, specifically through a restricted procedure, and participants are encouraged to submit their bids electronically. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy efficiency, heating solutions, and consultancy services. Companies with expertise in the installation and maintenance of metering equipment, particularly those familiar with biomass heating systems, are well-positioned to compete. The relatively niche market for prepayment metering solutions suggests that SMEs and those with targeted experience in this sector could leverage this contract for business growth and potential partnership with Blairtummock Housing Association Ltd. ## Notice Consideration of metering solution for communal heating properties ### Lot Information Lot 1 Background Blairtummock Housing Association have 58 properties that are served by a biomass fed communal heating sytem. The properties were each refurbished in 2012 and new Hydraulic Interface Units were installed in each dwelling. A complete overhauled of the plant room, boiler, global metering and other systems were also undertaken at that time. The prepayment meters (associated with the heating, that BHA use to charge residents for their usage) within properties are now coming towards the end of their useful lives and the heat meters that feed into these are also becoming less dependable. The Likely Brief Blairtummock Housing Association will soon be looking to appoint a consultant to consider a number of questions around its communal heated properties. There are two main issues that we wish the consultant to consider: 1. The replacement of heat meters and consumer charging meters (prepayment meters) within the properties 2. The life cycle of the current Herz 199kw bio mass boiler Around question one the association will be looking to have a detailed spec put together by our consultant, that can be issued to specialist contractors in order that a bid that balances price and quality can be received from them. We are aware that the prepayment metering market is very small and as such we would seek a consultant with a good knowledge of what is available and who to go to in order that residents end up with a dependable solution meeting their needs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV431795 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 19 Mar 2021 | | Future notice date | 4 Mar 2021 | | Award date | 17 Jun 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £13,052 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BLAIRTUMMOCK HOUSING ASSOCIATION LTD | | Locality | GLASGOW | | Post town | Glasgow | | Postcode | G34 9JL | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM32 Glasgow City | | Local authority | Glasgow City | | Electoral ward | North East | | Westminster constituency | Glasgow North East | | Delivery location | TLM82 Glasgow City | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | CHIRPY HEAT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71334000 - Mechanical and electrical engineering services ## Release History - 2 Nov 2021 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV431795 - 4 Mar 2021 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR408662 - 10 Feb 2021 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406383 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAR408662&idx=1 4th March 2021 - SPD Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=MAR408662&idx=2 4th March 2021 - Standardised Statements - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB406383 Outline of Brief to be undertaken - Consideration of metering solution for communal heating properties - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR408662 Outline of Brief to be undertaken - Consideration of metering solution for communal heating properties - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=NOV431795 Outline of Brief to be undertaken - Consideration of metering solution for communal heating properties ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.blairtummock.org.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000643910 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
