Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis

Tender description

This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to a project to establish a contract for the provision of a feasibility study for the development of a Climate Neutral Estate. This procurement is focused around the development of a net zero strategy for the University of Strathclyde’s built estate. The work will consider how best to integrate net-zero carbon and adaptation measures at a campus level. The work will utilise previous assessments and academic research using the University of Strathclyde’s expertise (students and staff). It will also include existing metering and BMS (Building Management System) data and trends. It will include details from the University of Strathclyde’s building conditions survey, as well as the experience of our Building Services and FM (Facilities Management) maintenance contract colleagues. The aim of this technical feasibility study is to carry out a ‘whole systems’ analysis to determine how best to combine a set of innovative solutions that together deliver a 100 % net-zero system delivering power, heat and transport solutions, at each of the University of Strathclyde’s existing assets. The work will include a strong focus on emissions reduction, deployment at scale, and learning/teaching and research opportunities.
