Heating equipment

Tender description

The Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, through its commercial procurement services, wishes to award a national Framework Agreement for the supply of Smart Heating Systems. Smart Heating systems incorporate control and communications technology with energy-saving heating systems to reduce costs and carbon emissions associated with heating. Solutions primarily involve the installation of high-efficiency heaters that are connected, via a building’s electrical circuit and/or wirelessly to each other and to external analytics and control centres enabling monitoring and control of energy usage, system status reporting and software updates. The system will be scalable, with units working individually and together to create a coherent platform for managing buildings to drive efficiencies across estates. The system should require zero maintenance input from the end-user and approach as close as possible a “heating as a service” model.
