Overview

The University of Bath is seeking an experienced engineering contractor to design and deliver a solution to merge two adjacent district-heating networks:

The project forms part of the University's developing estate-wide district-heating improvement programme.

  • DH1: 8 MW installed heating capacity, serving 14 buildings.
  • DH2: 1.5 MW installed heating capacity, serving 7 buildings.

The proposed merger will create a single operating network, using DH1 as the main energy centre.

The opportunity involves two stages:

  1. Engineering Development: Investigations, design and development of the proposed solution, programme and installation costs.
  2. Engineering Delivery: Installation, testing and commissioning of the agreed solution, subject to University approval.

The University of Bath will follow a Competitive Flexible Procedure, comprising an initial Expression of Interest (EOI), supplier shortlisting, Request for Information (RFI) and subsequent competitive tender.

Installation is planned to begin in July 2027.
