PRO005033-Services-Framework-Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Testing
Framework ceiling £1,000,000 — the most the agreement may spend across all suppliers and call-offs, not a contract value
United Utilities Water Limited publishes Environment & Waste work continuously — 17 notices, roughly one every 64 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
9% of United Utilities Water Limited’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 →
United Utilities (UU) require point source emissions testing and analysis to be completed at 9 Anaerobic Digestion facilities, located in the North West of England.
The testing is to be carried out annually with the ability to increase this frequency when enhanced monitoring is required on a site-by-site basis.
Testing is required on Combined Heat and Power (CHP) engine exhaust stacks and Boiler exhaust stacks.
Testing may be required on Flare Stacks, should a 10% annual ‘run time’ limit be exceeded.
This would be treated as a reactive issue.
Analysis and methods should fully comply with the requirements of the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2016 implementing the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).
The Parameters and Monitoring Standard / Method include: • Oxides of Nitrogen (NO and NO2 expressed as NO2) - BS EN 14792 • Sulphur dioxide - BS EN 14791 or CEN TS 17021 or by calculation based on fuel sulphur • Carbon monoxide - BS EN 15058 • Total VOCs (including methane) - BS EN 12619 • Exhaust gas temperature - Traceable to National Standards • Exhaust gas pressure - Traceable to National Standards • Exhaust gas water vapour content - BS EN 14790-1 -Unless gas is dried before analysis of emissions. • Exhaust gas oxygen - BS EN 14789 • Exhaust gas flow - BS EN 16911-1 The contractor must have the ability to attend site again post survey within a reasonable timeframe to enable a re-test in the event of a result more than the stipulated emission limit.

This needs to be flexible due to operational constraints.
