Technical requirements: Information about an upcoming contest - Metres, collection system and Metre Data Management System (MDMS)
Lyse Neo AS is planning to invite selected qualified tenderer candidates to a contest that will take place in the autumn of 2022. Framework agreements are planned to begin in the autumn of 2022 or spring of 2023.
This prior information notice contains information about the upcoming contest and the use of Achilles UNCE as a qualification scheme.
The data company Lyse Neo AS is wholly owned by Lyse AS. The company is responsible for the development of energy solutions and the products natural gas, biogas, district heating, district cooling and gas as a fuel (compressed natural gas, CNG).
In recent years, Lyse Neo has built out its district heating axis, which stretches from the incineration plant in Forus, to Sandnes Inner Harbour and along Gandsfjorden to Stavanger East. Neo delivers cooling to a number of customers by pumping cold water from the adjacent Gandsfjord. Lyse Neo also delivers biogas, which is produced in two different plants. Neo also operates Norway's largest land-based natural gas network.
Lyse Neo has recently carried out a mapping project for the company's target value chain for district heating, district cooling and natural gas. Based on this project, the company has made plans to organise their target value chain which be applicable for the next few years.
In order to realise its planned target value chain, Lyse Neo needs to connect with various tenderers that can deliver equipment and systems. The company therefore intends to hold a contest(s) for framework agreements for the purchase of meters for district heating and cooling, as well as a collection system and a Metre Data Management System (MDMS).
Selected qualified tenderer candidates are planned to be invited to a contest in the autumn of 2022.  Framework agreements are planned to begin in the autumn of 2022 or spring of 2023. The various framework agreements will be viewed in context, and will share a common interface with other framework agreements related to the target value chain.
Lyse will connect with one tenderer per framework agreement. The following deliveries and work scopes are planned to be included in the framework agreements:
- Energy metres for district heating and district cooling (flow part + energy calculator). There is an annual need for approx. 50 metres for district heating and district cooling in total.
- One collection system to gather metre data from remote-operated metres for district heating and cooling. The system must be able to export metre data to other systems (such as MDMS, ERP, etc.).
- One Metre Data Management System (MDMS) for the collection, processing and quality assurance of metre data from district heating, district cooling and natural gas.
Beyond the annual need as outlined above, there may be a need for the replacement of individual existing metres, which is subject to board approval within Lyse Neo. In such a case, the scope would be up to 3000 metres.
As a general rule, Lyse Neo uses the tenderer database Achilles Utilities Nordics & Central Europe to select qualified tenderer candidates for the contest. This is also planned to be used in the upcoming contests mentioned above. The company encourages all interested tenderers to register in the Achilles UNCE qualification scheme. qualification through Achilles will probably be a prerequisite to receive an invitation to participate in the contest.
Lyse Neo will use the following product and service codes in Achilles UNCE during the qualification phase (subject to change).
