SPP Regions publish new tender models

The SPP Regions project has published two new tender models in self-regulating LED lighting and in joint procurement of renewable energy.

Piedmont Region, the City of Turin and ARPA Piedmont collaborated in the purchasing via a framework contract of 500 GWh of energy from certified renewable sources, realising 150,000 tonnes of CO² savings as well as significant financial savings. The joint procurement approach resulted in a reduction in unit cost of 8% and the power procured can be used by 300 organisations across the region.

Turin Polytechnic's tender model details a pilot procurement of 16 LED installations at its Department of Control and Computer Science. The self-regulating LED tubes communicate between themselves to give uniform brightness and respond to changes in daylight and the presence of people. The pilot is intended to reduce both energy consumption and maintenance costs.

Both projects were completed under the framework of the APE GPP network, based in Turin. If you are interested in joining SPP Regions as a regional network, email the project coordinators.

The tender models and more information can be found on the SPP Regions website.
