Tender Details

Request for proposals are invited for Early Stage Geothermal Support Framework: (PLUTO)- Feasibility Study on the potential for geothermal district heating and cooling systems

Early Stage Geothermal Support Framework.

The Private Sector Early Stage Geothermal Development Framework (“PLUTO” or the “Programme”), approved by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“EBRD” or the “Bank”) Board of Directors on 9 December 2015, is a framework of USD 125 million will enable geothermal energy developers to explore and begin production of geothermal wells in Turkey with the objective of filling the funding gap currently existing for those sub projects at exploratory stages of geothermal development.

Currently, the Programme provides funding to geothermal power production projects; however, the Bank aims to explore the opportunity to expand the Programme in order to include geothermal district heating applications and plans to prepare a larger financing facility for the cities with geothermal potential in Turkey.

The overall objective of the project is to support Turkey to take action on mitigating air pollution through promotion and utilisation of geothermal energy as a renewable heat source and improvements in access to geothermal district heating. A full independent feasibility study for Turkey-s geothermal district heating potential will address the long-term strategy for the district energy sector (district heating and cooling) in Turkey.

Assignment Description:

In the context of the Programme, the Bank now intends to engage a consultant (the “Consultant”) in order to produce a study that will focus on the overall geothermal district energy potential of Turkey, both short and long-term, and to identify the most promising three sites to evaluate their feasibility for the concept design of such district energy systems to be built (the “Assignment”).

The detailed scope of work and services (the “Services”) are further described in the full Terms of Reference (the “ToRs”) attached hereto:

Consultant Selection Procedure:

Single stage open competitive selection.

Interested firms or groups of firms are invited to submit a Technical and Financial Proposal.

Assignment Start Date and Duration:

The Assignment is expected to start in October 2018 and has an estimated overall duration of 8 months.

Cost Estimate for the Assignment:

EUR 200, 000 (exclusive of VAT).

The Contract award is subject to availability of funding, the performance of the selected Consultant and the business needs, the Assignment may be extended beyond the current scope.

The Consultant must determine whether any VAT would be chargeable on the services and the basis for that determination, without taking into consideration the special status of the Bank as an IFI and state this to the Bank in their response to the Invitation for Expressions of Interest. To the extent that a Consultant incurs input VAT on goods and services purchased in connection with the provision of services (e.g. VAT on airline ticket) which is not otherwise recoverable by the consultant from the local tax authority, the gross cost to the consultant of such expenses shall be treated as a reimbursable expense.
