## Summary

The University of St Andrews has concluded a public procurement contract for the "Estates: Eden Campus BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) Expansion" project. This contract involves the decommissioning of the existing BESS and the installation and commissioning of an upgraded and expanded system. The procurement falls under the education sector and took place in Guardbridge, UK (region UKM72). The award stage was completed with the contract being signed on 25th July 2024, and the total contract value is GBP 348,921.95. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the disproportionately high technical difficulties that would arise from engaging a new supplier.

This tender represents significant opportunities for companies involved in the provision and installation of energy storage systems, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The specific nature of the contract—focusing on both decommissioning old systems and installing new, advanced systems—presents a valuable growth opportunity for companies specializing in energy technology solutions. Gridimp Ltd, an SME, has been awarded the contract, showcasing the room for smaller, specialized firms to secure significant projects in this field. Businesses equipped with expertise in the technical intricacies of BESS could find similar opportunities through targeted procurement processes that favour technical competence and reliability.
