Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) is progressing with the award phase of their procurement process for the project titled "ARMS for HNTAS Data Pilots." This initiative resides within the technical services industry category and comprises automatic collection, calculation, and submission of heat network performance data. Awarded to Switch2 Energy Limited, the contract, valued at £29,250, involves service delivery across various locations, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. Endorsed as a selective procurement method, the process utilised call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the contract period extending from 26 January 2026 to 25 August 2026.

The tender offers lucrative opportunities for businesses particularly adept in technical data management, system monitoring, and API integration, alongside those that can innovatively contribute to the efficiency of data collection within heat networks. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged, as this project satiates the suitability criteria, indicative of DESNZ's commitment to fostering inclusive business participation. Participating firms will be pivotal in demonstrating and refining the HNTAS Digital Service, thereby enhancing their expertise and establishing collaborative relationships with government entities and technical teams, both of which are essential for sustainable business growth in the energy security and net-zero sectors.

Notice Title

con_9230 - ARMS for HNTAS Data Pilots

Notice Description

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero ("DESNZ") wishes to commission contracts for Automatic Remote Monitoring System (ARMS) providers to support HNTAS Data Pilots. The HNTAS Data Pilots will develop, implement, test and demonstrate the automated collection, calculation, and submission of heat network performance data into the HNTAS Digital Service. ARMS providers will collect data from various monitoring devices, calculate key performance indicators (KPIs) even when some data is missing, and submit results automatically via an Application Programming Interface (API). The pilots will be carried out on live, well-monitored heat networks, with ARMS providers working closely with DESNZ's technical and digital teams to prove the end-to-end process and provide feedback. The aim is to prove end-to-end data acquisition, transfer and analysis, in order to provide automated KPIs into the HNTAS Digital Service.
