Summary of the contracting process

The Development of Subsurface Heat Geospatial Platform contracting process was managed by DESNZ and awarded to UK Research and Innovation represented by the British Geological Survey (BGS). The procurement centred around research and development services, specifically in the collection and collation of geothermal data into an interactive, openly accessible platform. This project aims to assess the geothermal potential within Great Britain and was valued at £200,995.44. Procurement was conducted through a negotiated procedure without prior publication, with the contract running from 15 August 2024 to 31 July 2025. Its geographical scope spans across the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in geological, hydrological modelling, and data management sectors, where expertise in creating interactive geospatial tools could be leveraged. Although this particular contract was not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs and was awarded to a large-scale supplier, similar upcoming tenders could provide valuable openings for companies with a robust portfolio in research and development services, especially those that focus on sustainable and renewable energy solutions. Businesses that can develop advanced metadata cataloguing and geological analysis tools are likely to be well-suited to compete in such future procurements.
