Procuring Innovation - Renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions for Council buildings and other assets

Tender description

South Tyneside Council are seeking innovative suppliers to support the creation and delivery of efficient alternative solutions in specific areas. This market engagement opportunity is open to current and prospective suppliers with an interest in helping to shape the services of the future within the South Tyneside area, in this instance, renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions for Council buildings and other assets. The current known restrictions and barriers include: - •Conventional roof mounted renewable options (solar) can require costly and intrusive structural alterations and do little, if anything, to reduce heat loss from the roof. Roof insulations slabs are often fitted during recovering works but the covering is easily damaged during works to fit roof mounted frames •Little knowledge of alternative solutions for energy generation / insulation solutions to apply to, or replace existing roof coverings which will also reduce operational costs, timescales and installation costs •Looking to understand any other renewable energy or energy efficiency solutions which could be applied to buildings and other assets to achieve similar outcomes. The Council held a Procuring Innovation event on 28th November 2018 where Council Officers provided in depth detail on the challenge area. The presentation from this event is attached. Please register your interest in this opportunity for further information and to submit any proposals for consideration. Any queries or requests for further information should be directed through the message facility for this project. Keywords: Efficiency, Innovation, Energy, Renewable
