16/12/15 - Early Engagement for a concession to administer the RHI Biomass Suppliers List
No value published
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE publishes Government & Public Administration work continuously — 12 notices, roughly one every 18 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
31% of DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a long-term financial support programme for renewable heat.
The RHI pays participants to generate and use renewable energy to heat commercial buildings and homes.
From 5 October 2015, participants in both RHI schemes must demonstrate that the fuel they use meets sustainability criteria to continue to receive payments under the scheme.
The sustainability criteria were introduced to safeguard the Government’s carbon and environmental objectives.
The criteria consist of Greenhouse gas criteria (GHC) and Land use criteria.
See the BSL website for more information on the sustainability criteria. http://biomass-suppliers-list.service.gov.uk/ To provide a straightforward compliance route for Domestic RHI (DRHI) and Non-Domestic RHI (NDRHI) participants, the Government created the Biomass Suppliers List in April 2014.
The Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) is an approved list of solid woody biomass fuels that meet the RHI sustainability criteria.
For Domestic RHI (DRHI) participants, using a fuel from the BSL is the only available compliance route.
For those on the Non- domestic RHI scheme, participants can also self-report against the GHG and land criteria, although the majority use the BSL.
Administering the BSL currently involves many operational tasks including processing applications to the BSL, running a helpdesk and a public-facing website for scheme applicants, maintaining a database of approved woody fuels, managing quarterly reporting from scheme participants and undertaking compliance audits.
The current Administrator of the BSL was appointed by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) through competitive tender in March 2014.
The current contract comes to an end on 31 March 2016.
