Construction work

Tender description

Devon County Council is looking to procure a capital works contractor to deliver a solution which delivers a primary energy reduction of 40 % for Devon County Council's Great Moor House, Exeter. This procurement is part of the Zero Energy Building Catalyst programme which is supported by the European Regional Development Fund. This is a fixed price contract of 410 000 GBP. A key aspect of this tender will be the procurement of a solution that can technically achieve, based on manufacturer specifications, a reduction in grid supplied electricity and gas. This output will not be based on meter readings, just a “desk-top” analysis of the solutions technical performance. DCC is continually looking to reduce the carbon footprint of its estate and this tender will be an important step in demonstrating an approach which can be replicated. DCC will be conducting Investment Grade Audits of a number of properties in 2019 and then building a business case to secure investment in further Energy Performance Contracts. The tender is not specifying a solution and it is up to the bidder to put forward a solution that meets the specification. The solution must have a modelled performance (based on manufacturer specifications) which can over a year reduce the buildings grid supplied gas and electricity supply from a baseline of 1 578 047 kWh (average based on 2013-2016 annual consumption) to 946 828 kWh — a 40 % reduction. Tenderers have the option of including renewables measures through a PPA and lease as outlined within the ITT documentation. Additionally, the solution requires monitoring and verification as wells as a performance guarantee — details can again be found within the ITT documentation. This is a fixed price contract of 410 000 GBP.
