Woodchip Fuel Supply for Canterbury Linen Services Biomass Boiler

This procurement relates to the delivery of a cost effective and reliable fuel supply for Canterbury Linen Services Limited (CLS). CLS has engaged Lyttleton Engineering Ltd to supply and install a new 4MW woodchip boiler, including Top Loader fuel delivery system within a covered building. This is expected to be commissioned in July/ August 2020.

CLS load is production based so demand will be reasonably constant throughout the year. CLS is wholly owned by CDHB.

Security of supply is critical to us, especially in times of disaster, so we can continue to provide health and hospitality services.

We need wood or wood products from legally sourced timber that can be verified by recognised third-party certification. We would prefer wood or wood products from sustainably-managed sources. a. This RFP relates to the purchase of woodchip fuel suitable for a new woodchip boiler at Canterbury Linen Services. The key outcomes that we want to achieve are security of supply and value for money. b.

CLS may at their sole discretion may choose to accept more than one supplier for our Biomass and Wood Fuel need.
