Description

The London Borough of Brent (the Authority) is issuing a Contract Notice for a district heating network in South Kilburn.

The Council is seeking a contractor to design, build, operate and maintain the 'South Kilburn District Heat Network' (SKDHN) to serve the South Kilburn regeneration area. SKDHN will be fully owned by the Authority. The Authority will own the heat generating plant and distributing network to the heat exchangers. The Initial Works will be followed by the Additional Works as set out in Appendix 2 of the ITPD (Specification) and defined in Clause 1 (Definitions and Interpretation) of the South Kilburn DHN Agreement.

Tenders will be published on the London Tenders Portal (also known as Proactis) and potential suppliers that are interested in tendering are encouraged to register (free of charge) at: https://www.londontenders.org

The term of the contract is for an anticipated build period between 2025 and 2032. The term of contract includes fifteen years operation period with the ability for the Authority to extend for an additional period up to 10 years. Following the installation of air source heat pumps (ASHPs), the completed network will supply low carbon heat via a buried network (spine trench length of 2.7 km) and its total annual heat demand is expected to be 20.8 GWh.

The detailed design and specification in relation to the "Initial Works" (Phase 1) is set out in Appendix 2 of the ITPD (Specification). All associated drawings and documents are included within the Procurement Pack.
