    Brief

    The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is seeking a feasibility study to evaluate alternatives to replace its gas-fired heating infrastructure with low-carbon electric solutions. The study will assess the technical viability, operational requirements, and cost-effectiveness of three primary options: Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, and seawater-based renewable heating. Deliverables will include a comprehensive option appraisal, detailed feasibility assessment, and clear recommendations for the preferred heating solution. This work will provide the evidence base needed to support future investment decisions, design phases, and funding applications as NOC transitions away from fossil fuel-based heating systems. Ideal suppliers should have experience in renewable heating technologies, building systems analysis, and feasibility study development.
