Description

Shropshire Council is seeking an experienced contractor to undertake a detailed 'techno-economic' feasibility study which is designed to establish the viability and practicability of a local heat network, powered by waste heat from the Battlefield Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) to supply heat to adjacent industrial land and also to Shropshire Council and other community buildings in the Sundorne Road area of north Shrewsbury.

The contractor will also undertake a master planning and techno-economic feasibility study of the Battlefield industrial estate focusing on the Battlefield Energy from Waste (EfW) site, which is managed by Veolia on behalf of Shropshire Council.

The study will build on the initial masterplanning carried out in 2016 and investigate potentially useful heating, cooling and power demand loads, potentially useful heat supply opportunities for the purposes of developing a district energy scheme.

The study will help to identify an initial core scheme and full potential scheme over the long term together with potential phasing, timeline, key dependencies and constraints.

The study will require a detailed assessment and evaluation of the technical and economic elements of developing the identified heat network, including additional potential heat sources, network route feasibility and costs, connection method to and consultation with stakeholders and potential consumers for heating and cooling and the techno-economic model that informs the business case for the project.

The study will be expected to be completed within a six-month period, commencing around 22nd July 2022 and the contractor will complete 2 'Work Packages' and a Final Report as set out in the accompanying document "Battlefield Heat Network Study - Invitation to Tender and Specification v1.4".

Tenders up to a ceiling value of £90,000 (exclusive of VAT) will be considered.
