    Brief

    The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives to its existing gas-fired heating infrastructure as part of its decarbonisation programme. The successful contractor will assess the technical viability, operational impact, and economic cost-benefit of replacing the current gas boiler system with electric heating solutions, including Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, and innovative seawater-based renewable heating. The study should include comprehensive option appraisal, detailed feasibility assessment, cost analysis, and clear recommendations for the preferred heating solution. Deliverables will provide the evidence base needed to support future investment decisions and guide subsequent phases of design, funding, and implementation for NOC's estate decarbonisation. This is an opportunity to support a major UK research institution in transitioning away from fossil fuel-based heating systems.
