Description

Ceredigion County Council, on behalf of the Growing Mid Wales (GMW) Board, is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultancy organisation to provide specialist technical services in support of the Datgloi forestry project.

The project builds on previous research exploring the potential role of locally produced green hydrogen in supporting forestry transport, processing and other energy-intensive activities across rural Mid Wales.

The commission will assess the technical, operational, commercial and environmental feasibility of hydrogen-powered machinery, vehicles and associated infrastructure within a rural forestry setting. The appointed supplier will be expected to undertake technical assessments, feasibility studies, stakeholder engagement and option appraisal activities to develop robust evidence-based recommendations.

Bidders will be required to objectively test assumptions and consider alternative or complementary low-carbon solutions where appropriate to ensure recommendations are practical, achievable and deliverable.

The estimated contract value is between £125,000 and £250,000 for the full-term of the contract. The contract award is subject to the approval and availability of grant funding. The Council reserves the right not to award a contract should the required funding not be approved or secured.
