B&NES Heat Network Feasibility Study

The aim of the study is to identify heating, cooling, and power demand loads, and heat supply opportunities, for the purposes of heat network scheme development. The exercise will identify, evaluate, and prioritise potential heat network opportunities, and any potential schemes will be fully modelled to understand whether a heat network is technically and economically viable, with recommendations for potential phasing, timeline, key dependencies, and constraints. The proposed work must provide B&NES with a clear and justifiable basis upon which to determine the likely potential for heat networks in the study area for both short and long term, and how these may be best delivered. It should be sufficient to enable B&NES to determine whether to progress to more detailed techno-economic feasibility work, and the judge the value in submitting sites for detailed analysis as part of the West of England Mayoral Combined Authority (WoE MCA) study. The study should consider, but not be limited to, considering the scope to use mine water heat - drawing on the outputs of the WoE MCA studies undertaken to date, the outputs of which will be made available to the appointed Supplier. The Mayoral Combined Authority uses ATAMIS as its e-Procurement system. Assistance in relation to the e-Procurement system is available to suppliers via the Supplier Help Icon within the system. Supplier Guidance documents are also available to view and download. Suppliers must ensure that they have the most up to date Invitation to Quote document by registering on the e-Quoteing system at - https://weca-atamis.my.site.com/s/Welcome - and expressing an interest. This will enable suppliers to view the latest documents and see any comments and discussions on those documents. If you are still unable to resolve your issue in using the system you should contact Atamis Support via the Help section of the portal explaining the nature of your query.
