The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy is hosting a supplier engagement event to share our plans for a seven-month research project on domestic heat distribution systems. This research will consolidate and increase our understanding of existing domestic heat distribution systems and identify opportunities to improve their performance. The project will be split into two separate Lots with the following aims:
Lot 1 - Review of current heat distribution systems
• To consolidate and increase our understanding of domestic heat distribution systems including current technologies, operating principles and their history
• To review both present and past design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance practices
• To assess the current and potential market for heat distribution systems
• To identify applicable standards, policies and regulations
• To better understand capital, installation, operation, and maintenance costs
• To build up an evidence base of heat distribution systems across the current housing stock
Lot 2 - Potential for improved performance of heat distribution systems
• To review the technical performance and maintenance of heat distribution systems
• To identify measures (e.g. actions or products) to improve their performance
• To analyse the energy and cost savings of the identified measures
• To assess the current and potential market for performance-enhancing products
Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA)
This research project will be procured through the Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA) dynamic purchasing system which is run by the Crown Commercial Service. This will be run through HELGA Service 1 - Energy Advisory, Design and Technical Services under the following filters:
• Heat networks, space heating, and domestic heating (including heat pumps)
• Energy efficiency in buildings
Full details of this requirement will be shared with appointed HELGA suppliers when the competition launches. To be eligible to bid into this project, you will have to be an appointed supplier on HELGA by 13th May 2019. If you are interested in this project, we encourage you to sign up to HELGA as soon as possible as it can take up to 15 working days for the CCS to process your application.
Instructions on how to register on HELGA can be found in the 'Other Information' section below and we hope to have a representative from the CCS at the event to answer any questions you may have about HELGA and the tendering process.
