This tender, which falls under the category of works, aims to connect a local Energy from Waste Plant to construct a heat network in the Shawfair area. The current status is active, with a significant estimated contract value of £20 million. The tender period is set to close on 24 September 2021, and the procurement method is selective, involving a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. This project offers numerous opportunities for businesses specialising in design and construction, particularly those experienced in energy systems and district heating solutions. Companies in the engineering, construction, and renewable energy sectors would be well-suited to compete, especially those capable of innovative energy management solutions and environmentally sustainable practices. Additionally, bidders must meet rigorous financial criteria, demonstrating a minimum turnover of £43 million over the past three years, thus ensuring that only qualified enterprises can engage in this substantial public procurement opportunity. ## Notice MEL is seeking to procure a suitably experienced company to lead the successful design and construction of a heat network for the Shawfair area in Midlothian, Scotland. The heat network development will consist of a connection to a local Energy from Waste Plant, the construction of an Energy Centre complete with back-up boiler plant, District Heating Networks (DHN) and heat substations. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Shawfair is a new mix use residential and commercial development in Midlothian, Scotland. A local Energy from Waste plant (EfW) has heat of up to 95degC available as a by-product of its operations for the development area. This project aims to connect the EfW waste heat to the development and to create a sustainable District Heating Network for the wider Midlothian area. The heat is to be transported from the EfW to an Energy Centre (EC), from where the heat disperses into a District Heating Network (DHN). The capacity of the DHN will be about 16.5MW. The DHN will connect to both residential units and mixed use space including office, retail and community space. When heat from the EfW is not available, it must be created at the EC. The EC will be fitted with boilers, thermal stores and other general equipment required for DHN operation, such as pressure keeping, and water quality control. It will also house the control system of the entire network. Steel based district heating pipes will form the primary network that feeds the warm water to Heat Substations, where the water is hydraulically separated from secondary networks. The Secondary Off Plot networks will be polymer based district heating networks that transport warm water to the boundary of development plots. NOTE : All Secondary On Plot DHN Networks are for the plot developer to coordinate the connection to all dwellings including the interfaces with the dwellings. This does not form part of this scope. The build programme for the works included in this contract notice will be approximately 24 months. The project is new build. It is anticipated that the contract scope shall include (but is not limited to) design and build of: - Pipework and connections to EfW heat offtake system - Energy Centre - Electrical installation, instrumentation and controls - Primary DHN Spine - Initial Heat Sub Stations across wider plot development area - Initial Off Plot Secondary district heating pipework The contract will contain options for MEL to instruct the successful contractor to price and carry out the design and build of network extensions to new customers beyond the initial scope listed. MEL reserves the right to benchmark the price of and additional works under a separate contract notice and potentially award those works to others. Options: Please refer to section VI.3) Additional information. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT430269 | | Notice type | OJEU - F6 - Contract Award Notice (Utilities) | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure with prior call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Oct 2021 | | Submission deadline | 24 Sep 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 12 Oct 2021 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000,000 | | Lots value | £20,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDLOTHIAN ENERGY LIMITED (MEL) | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8PJ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM73 East Lothian and Midlothian | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 38 - Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses) - 42 - Industrial machinery - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09300000 - Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy - 09323000 - District heating - 38551000 - Energy meters - 42515000 - District heating boiler - 44163120 - Distance-heating pipes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45232140 - District-heating mains construction work - 45251000 - Construction works for power plants and heating plants - 45251250 - District-heating plant construction work - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71314000 - Energy and related services - 71314310 - Heating engineering services for buildings - 71700000 - Monitoring and control services ## Release History - 12 Oct 2021 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F6 - Contract Award Notice (Utilities) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT430269 - 18 Aug 2021 at 00:00 - Tender - OJEU - F5 - Contract Notice (Utilities) - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG424817 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=3 8th September 2021 - Qualification Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=6 8th September 2021 - Qualification Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=1 18th August 2021 - Project Summary - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=2 18th August 2021 - PQQ Instructions - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=4 18th August 2021 - Vattenfall Code of Conduct For Suppliers - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG424817&idx=5 18th August 2021 - SPD Questionnaire - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG424817 Shawfair Energy Centre & District Heating Network - MEL is seeking to procure a suitably experienced company to lead the successful design and construction of a heat network for the Shawfair area in Midlothian, Scotland.
