Lot 1: Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) PPS is seeking applications to this lot from providers of EPC solutions who can undertake the detailed design, supply of plant, construction and commissioning of energy projects including the following. EPC provider is engaged to:

1) Design/build an energy project, where the project (including the design and build cost payable to the EPC provider) is to be funded by the Authority and the Authority will own and operate the project once built;

2) Design/build an energy project on the basis that the EPC provider also provides construction finance, such that the Authority is only required to provide funding itself once the project has been built against agreed milestones/requirements;

3) Design/build/own/operate an energy project at its own cost on land made available by the Authority, so a fully funded solution as part of which the EPC provider, not the Authority, will own and operate the project once built. The EPC provider, as the project owner/operator, may/may not also be required to use the project to provide energy or other services to the authority e.g. under arrangements for the supply to the authority of electricity generated by the project and/or electricity storage/load shifting services and/or electric vehicle charging services. The basis on which an EPC provider may be engaged to deliver a solution for one/more energy projects will vary according to the particular solution/project requirements, as well as/instead of the conclusion of a particular works contract with the EPC provider, it is envisaged that arrangements for delivery of a particular solution may in certain cases include the grant of a lease/licence to the EPC provider and/or the conclusion of a PPA/other commercial agreement for supply/purchase of electricity/other services.
