Tender: Supply of Woodchip and Wood Pellet Biomass Fuel to City of Bradford – 3-Year Contract

About

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking a supplier for the delivered supply of biomass fuel (woodchip and wood pellets) to four council buildings for a three-year contract, with supply also required for any new biomass boilers installed or acquired during the period. The contract covers mainly woodchip deliveries to locations including Bradford Industrial Museum, Wedgewood House and Margaret McMillan Tower – Sir Henry Mitchell House (shared plantroom). In 2023/24 the council used 33 tonnes of pellets and 241 tonnes of woodchip, with lower volumes in 2024/25 due to mechanical issues and one biomass system being decommissioned; the 2023/24 figures are the maximum levels anticipated and actual amounts are likely to be lower. Fuel must meet minimum standards approved by the UK government for Renewable Heat Incentive claims. Suppliers must state delivery times from receipt of order. Pricing should be a delivered price including transportation and depositing the biomass fuel into each site’s storage tanks, with separate pricing for woodchip and pellets and separate pricing for the remainder of 2025/26 and for 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29.
