Heat Network Integrated Studies
Decision Maker: Director: Management of Place
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
BCC are actively installing heat networks
across the city in order to support the Mayor’s commitment
for Bristol to be a carbon neutral city by 2030 and to reduce fuel
poverty. There are a number of existing networks and many areas
identified in the heat priority area, which require work. A direct
award was taken in to order to provide value for money and due to
tight timescales owing to the progression of further heat networks
in the city and the need to ensure pipe sizing currently in design
was appropriate for wider networks. As such direct award was
awarded to the supplier who had carried out the previous work
Decision:
Approval for the award of a contract to
Sustainable Energy Limited in order to carry out assessment study
of existing heat networks, and how they could integrate into a
single city-wide heat network. The second part of the award is for
a number of feasibility studies for other heat network areas of the
city including Easton, Spike Island and Temple
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 - Alternatives would have been
procuring work through the form of a competition which could have
resulted in significant delays to the project, or loss of value for
money through having to redo work done by the previous consultant.
Another option would have been to not carry out heat networks
feasibility and both of these were rejected given that heat
networks are key to meeting the mayoral zero carbon objectives by
2030.
