Overview
Swansea University is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified contractor to deliver works associated with the Energy Centre upgrade and new District Heat Network (DHN) connection to Union House, forming part of Swansea University’s wider decarbonisation programme at Singleton Campus. The project comprises a significant upgrade to campus heat generation and distribution infrastructure, centred on the installation of approximately 3MW of modular air source heat pump (ASHP) capacity.
The project has been developed to RIBA Stage 3 with a fully coordinated design prepared to inform tendering and delivery. The works will be procured via a two-stage tender process, allowing for early contractor engagement during Stage 1 to support design development, buildability, programme optimisation and cost certainty ahead of entering a Stage 2 construction contract.
