    Brief

    The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives to replace its existing gas-fired heating infrastructure with low-carbon solutions. The study will assess the technical, operational, and economic viability of three main options: Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, and seawater-based renewable heating systems. Suppliers will conduct a comprehensive option appraisal, evaluate feasibility across all three alternatives, and provide recommendations for the preferred heating solution. The deliverables will form the evidence base for future investment decisions and guide the design, funding, and delivery phases of NOC's broader decarbonisation programme. This is an opportunity for engineering and sustainability consultants with expertise in renewable heating technologies to demonstrate their capability in supporting organisations transitioning from fossil fuel-based systems.
