Steam boiler to be incorporated within a brewing system

Description

Goodh Brewing Co. Ltd was incorporated in December 2019 specialising in Wild Ales (the word "Goodh" meaning Wild in the Cornish dictionary). Over the earlier years the business started to expand its product-range by producing craft beers and IPAs. The business has grown year on year as a craft brewery both locally and nationally with its first bar opening in the centre of Truro in December 2021. In October 2022 one of Cornwall's most famous breweries Skinner's Brewery went into Administration (trading since July 2002). Famous for brewing award-winning traditional ales Goodh Brewing Co. saw the opportunity to add the skinner's brand and beers too good to miss and acquired these. To meet current demand, continuing to develop a varied range of beers and to carry on the growth of the business it is now at the stage of a significant capital investment project. The business is looking to expand its production capacity with the purchase of a new 4000L brewkit. With the increased production comes the need for increased feed to power it. Electrical power would be non-viable given the size of the kit and tanks (that require chilling 24/7). Therefore to make the cost of production sustainable on a kit this size we would need to power it using a steam boiler. The purchase of this boiler is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on lowest compliant Tender.
