## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is initiating a procurement process titled "CHP Maintenance Contract Future Opportunity," focusing on the education sector. The university seeks expressions of interest to maintain existing combined heat and power (CHP) engines at its district heating energy centres located at Pollock Halls and Kings Buildings campuses in Edinburgh. This planned procurement stage is identified by a recent communication deadline set for 30th November 2021, and it will involve a competitive procedure following market research, including the issuance of Request For Information (RFI) questionnaires.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialised in service maintenance of energy systems, particularly those experienced with CHP technologies. Companies capable of delivering comprehensive maintenance, parts supply, and overhaul services in alignment with manufacturer recommendations would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. As additional energy centres may be integrated into this contract in the future, interested businesses should prepare to demonstrate their capacity and expertise in managing similar projects in the energy sector.

## Notice

The university is seeking expressions of interest for a service contract to maintain existing CHP engines at two of its district heating energy centres. The sites are located at Pollock Halls Campus and Kings Buildings Campus and comprise Jenbacher JMS212 - NL (136,000 hrs) and Jenbacher JMS620E GS-NL (119,000hrs) engines respectively. There may be an opportunity for additional energy centres to be added as they come out of existing contracts. The contract type would encompass a full service maintenance, parts and overhaul schedule in line with manufacturers recommendations.
