To keep all these plants healthy, we use a significant amount of water for irrigation. Currently our water is fed by mains into a large storage tank before passing through a pump to the glasshouses.New Scheme:We have successfully bid for monies from One Planet Cardiff to install a scheme to collect and filtrate rainwater which falls on the nursery glasshouses to irrigate the plants we grow. Calculations based on rainfall from 2018-2022 estimate that there is a potential to collect 1738.6 m3 of water annually.We propose to:Install a rainwater collection tankReplace and install new pipes on existing glasshouses to divert rainwater into new collection tankInstall a system to transfer water from new collection tank to existing water storage tankInstallation of a Slow Sand Filter to sterilise rainwater before it is used for irrigationCarbon Reduction and OPC Benefits:The main ecological benefit offered using rainwater collection systems is the reduction in the use of mains water which means that less water will need to be artificially drawn from the environment. Mains water is pumped long distances and heavily treated to make it potable.One of the other ecological benefits of rainwater harvesting systems is that they lessen the load placed upon drainage systems.Other Benefits:Significant savings in water bills.Could be used as an educational tool for water use as Nursery is the same site as the Bute Park Education Centre.Project could be used as a trail to see if similar systems could be used on other council buildings with large surface area leading to significant rainfall collection potential.Filtration system could lead to water freer of contaminants leading to better plant health and a reduction in chemicals used.Location of the project: Bute Park, CardiffCrop: OrnamentalsElectrical grid parameters: 230–400-volt 50 HzInvestigate options to collect rainwater from two glasshouses for potential use in irrigating all glasshouse crops on site.Existing rainwater runs to waste outlets below nursery siteExisting irrigation water tank supplied with mains waterBased on data retrieved from the Bute Park weather station, it has been calculated that an average of 145 m3 of rainfall is available per month for collection from Glasshouses 4 and 6 (367 m3 maximum). Pro-rating these figures, daily indicative amounts of 4.8 m3 (average) to 11.8 m3 (maximum) have been used to size an appropriate collection and filtration tank size.II.2.5) Award criteriaPrice is not the only award criterion and all criteria are stated only in the procurement documentsII.2.6) Estimated valueValue excluding VAT: 65 000.00 GBPII.2.7) Duration of the contract, framework agreement or dynamic purchasing system Duration in months: 1 This contract is subject to renewal: No II.2.9) Information about the limits on the number of candidates to be invitedII.2.10) Information about variants Variants will be accepted: No II.2.11) Information about options Options: No II.2.13) Information about European Union funds The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: No Section III: Legal, economic, financial and technical informationIII.1) Conditions for participationIII.1.2) Economic and financial standingSelection criteria as stated in the procurement documentsIII.1.3) Technical and professional abilitySelection criteria as stated in the procurement documentsIII.2) Conditions related to the contractSection IV: ProcedureIV.1) DescriptionIV.1.1) Type of procedure Open procedure IV.1.8) Information about Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement: No IV.2) Administrative informationIV.2.2) Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate Date: 18/11/2024 Local time: 12:00IV.2.4) Languages in which tenders or requests to participate may be submittedENCYIV.2.7) Conditions for opening of tenders Date: 18/11/2024 Local time: 12:00Section VI: Complementary informationVI.1) Information about recurrence This is a recurrent procurement: No VI.3) Additional informationAll information can be found at: https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/LoginNOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the Sell2Wales Web Site at http://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=145388.(WA Ref:145388)The buyer considers that this contract is suitable for consortia.VI.4) Procedures for reviewVI.4.1) Review bodyHigh CourtRoyal Courts of Justice, The StrandLondonWC2A 2LLUK Telephone: +44 2079477501VI.5) Date of dispatch of this notice18/10/2024 Coding Commodity categories ID Title Parent category 42912350Filtration plant equipmentLiquid filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus42912310Water filtration apparatusLiquid filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus Delivery locations ID Description 1022Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan Alert region restrictions The buyer has restricted the alert for this notice to suppliers based in the following regions.
