The University of Wales Trinity Saint David needs a complete system to measure and monitor electricity, gas, and water use across all their buildings. They want one integrated solution that tracks energy and water consumption, helps them recover costs from departments, manage carbon emissions, and understand how different buildings use resources.
Requirements
- System must integrate electricity, gas, and water sub-metering in one platform
- Must be scalable across a diverse estate (academic, residential, administrative, specialist teaching, research, and heritage buildings)
- Must provide monitoring and reporting capabilities
- Must support cost recovery functionality (billing departments/users)
- Must support carbon management and emissions tracking
- Must be compatible with heritage buildings (without damaging historic structures)
- Must handle significantly varying energy consumption patterns across different building types
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Supply all sub-metering hardware (electricity, gas, and water meters)
- Install meters across multiple buildings on the university estate
- Commission (test and activate) the entire integrated system
- Provide ongoing support and maintenance for the system
- Set up monitoring and reporting dashboards for energy/water consumption data
- Enable cost allocation and recovery reporting by building or department
- Integrate carbon tracking and emissions reporting functionality
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'supply, installation, commissioning and support' contract — you need to do the full lifecycle from delivery through to keeping it running. It's not just selling equipment; the buyer expects you to make it work and support it afterwards.
- 2The phrase 'diverse estate' and 'significantly varying consumption' tells you the system needs to be flexible — one-size-fits-all won't work. Look in the full tender documents for a site survey or building list to understand the scale and complexity.
- 3Heritage buildings are mentioned specifically — this is a red flag for complexity. You'll need to show how you can install meters without damaging listed buildings or historic structures. Check if the tender includes guidance on heritage requirements.
- 4The contract includes 'cost recovery' — this means the university wants to bill departments for their energy use. Your system must produce accurate billing reports. Make sure you understand how cost allocation should work.
- 5Look for the tender's technical specification section — it will list how many meters, what data points are needed, and what software/dashboard features are essential. This defines the real scope of work.
Tips for Small Businesses
- This is a large, multi-building installation — if you're a smaller business, consider partnering with a larger sub-metering specialist or installer. A consortium bid (bundling your software/monitoring expertise with someone else's installation capability) could make you competitive without overextending.
- Universities care about carbon reporting and ESG (environmental, social, governance) compliance. Emphasize in your bid how your system supports their net-zero goals and provides easy carbon tracking. This can score well in social value or sustainability criteria.
- The 'support' element is crucial — clarify in your bid what support you're offering (24/7 helpline, remote diagnostics, spare parts stock, response times). Universities expect reliability; a clear support plan can differentiate you and reduce their perceived risk of choosing a smaller supplier.
