Provision of a Heat Purchase Agreement (HPA) for NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (GG&C), Queen Elizabeth University Hospital and neighbouring sites.

The Common Services Agency (more commonly known as National Services Scotland) (NSS) are acting on behalf of NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGG&C) seeking expressions of interest from parties capable of assisting in the achievement of carbon reduction goals. NHS Scotland targets are to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our buildings by at least 75% by 2030 compared to a 1990 baseline; use renewable heating systems by 2038 for all NHS-owned buildings; and for all our estate to have net-zero emissions by 2040 or earlier where possible.

This will be accomplished by increasing energy efficiency of our built environment and transitioning away from fossil fuels.

There is no requirement for proposals at this time although they could be provided as an example of possible options.

This PIN is issued to inform the market of our future intentions and to facilitate the formation of a successful partnerships with suppliers who can provide fully funded solutions with no financial capital expenditure required from the Health Board.
