Redcar Hydrogen Village Trial Tender

CappKind Solution

CappKind provided a team of three specialist estimators and quantity surveyors to measure and price the works in line with the detailed design drawings, scoping documents, and various surveys.

Two costed solutions were developed:

• Scenario 1 “base tender” business as usual pricing and
• Scenario 2 “worst case” and differences in delivery and supply chain employing a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) exercise.

With some of the design not being fully developed, some elements of the tender were based on estimated/budget costing exercises. Where the design was sufficiently developed, Bills of Quantities were prepared to be issued to the supply chain.

As part of the solution, a survey of domestic residents was carried out with ~900 customers engaged to establish potential uptake then extrapolate the returns based on surveyed properties. This was to establish quantities for change in appliances as these numbers were required to obtain pricing from the supply chain.

There were limitations in the marketplace supply chain due to the level of development and knowledge of the emerging technology. However, the tender documentation was submitted to the Department for  Energy Security and Net Zero on 31/03/23. This was successfully completed ahead of schedule much to the satisfaction of the client, Northern Gas Networks.
