Tender: Kensington Palace Boiler Room Upgrade - Replacement with High-Efficiency Condensing Boilers

About

A supplier is sought to carry out a boiler room upgrade at Kensington Palace. The project replaces end-of-life atmospheric gas boilers with high-efficiency condensing boilers and includes installation of new hot water cylinders, plate heat exchangers, associated pipework, valves and ancillaries. Works cover removal and disposal of existing plant; survey, replacement or relining of existing boiler flues; assessment and necessary upgrades to the gas supply including replacement of obsolete mechanical gas drop safety valves with electrically operated solenoid valves; replacement of electrical installations needed to serve the new plant; cleaning, flushing and dosing of the heating system; replacement of thermostatic radiator valves and lockshield valves; associated builders' work, making good and redecoration of the plant room; and testing, commissioning and handover with all relevant certification and operation and maintenance manuals. The new system must be designed to enable future connection to a heat network being investigated through a joint RHPS/HRP feasibility study and to provide significantly improved energy efficiency while maintaining reliable heating and hot water services.
