Technical requirements: (1) Zero Waste Scotland wishes to appoint a contractor for the provision of technical support to industrial and other key stakeholder organisations in the development stages of industrial heat decarbonisation projects identified by Zero Waste Scotland as appropriate.
The primary requirements of this agreement will be delivered at various locations across Scotland, including the Highlands and Islands as appropriate and relevant.
1) Energy measurement and quantification (EMQ) — this being the measurement, quantification and diagrammatic representation of energy flows across and within a site, including the identification and high-level appraisal of opportunities for heat recovery. Opportunities for low carbon heat supply and energy efficiency should be identified and appraised where observed;
2) Opportunity development — this being the provision of specialist technical support to carry out detailed technical, financial and/or environmental appraisal of onsite heat recovery, low carbon heat supply and/or energy efficiency opportunities where such specialist support is likely to be of greatest value in progressing projects to implementation. This may include assessment of opportunities to use low grade heat sources for supply ‘over the fence’ where these cannot be recovered and/or re-used economically onsite.
Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Further information regarding this contract opportunity can be found within the tender documentation, which is available in the relevant Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) section for this procurement process.
Clarifications may be sought through the question and answer facility for this procurement exercise on the PCS web portal.
Zero Waste Scotland is not using the ESPD module on the Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) web portal for this procurement exercise. Tenderers must therefore download the ESPD (Scotland) provided for this procurement exercise as an additional document to prepare a response.
Further information and instructions relating to the ESPD (Scotland) for this procurement exercise are provided in both this contract notice and the ‘Supporting Information for Selection Criteria’ document. This includes details of the questions used, their weightings and the scoring methodology that will be used to evaluate responses. Tenderers should read the information and instructions provided carefully before submitting a response, as failure to follow instructions may result in your ESPD (Scotland) response being ruled non-compliant.
Tenderers should note that Zero Waste Scotland will carry out due diligence checking on statements made within ESPD (Scotland) responses. A request from Zero Waste Scotland to provide evidence in support of statements made by a tenderer in their ESPD (Scotland) response does not infer that the tender or the tenderer has been successful.
