034/2018 CHP Procurement Programme

UWE Bristol is committed to an ambitious carbon management plan with a key project in our programme being the installation of a low carbon heat network serving a number of existing and future buildings on Frenchay campus.

The installation of the heat network pipework infrastructure commenced in 2016 as part of a wider redevelopment of the \"campus heart-zone\".

UWE Bristol is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to undertake the supply, installation and commissioning of all heating plant and associated equipment within the Energy Centre, and supply and installation of substation integration equipment within each of the four existing buildings that are to be connected to the network and supplied by the Energy Centre.

The existing buildings are the Students Union (SU), FBL, D-Block and SAP 2; the FET building is not yet constructed and so will be connected at a future date and so is outside the scope of these works.

The scope of work also includes the sizing, design and installation of electrical connection from the CHP units to the existing LV electrical system on site.
