Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) has outlined a procurement process for the project titled "ARMS for HNTAS Data Pilots", focusing on technical services within the scope of collecting and analysing heat network performance data. This award stage contract has been brought to fruition, with the total value amounting to £29,950. The contract period commences on 26 January 2026 and concludes on 25 August 2026. The procurement method employed was selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contracted services are distributed across diverse geographical locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and the Rest of the World. The contract aims to automate KPI submissions to the HNTAS Digital Service, with DESNZ collaborating alongside ARMS providers.

This procurement process represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in remote monitoring systems and data management. SMEs and VCSEs are particularly well-suited to engage with this project, given the suitability criteria. As ARMS providers play a pivotal role in proving the end-to-end process for data acquisition and analysis, those with expertise in API integrations and technical service delivery stand to benefit from potential growth and visibility in this burgeoning field. This tender offers a pathway for such businesses to not only contribute to advancing the automated collection and reporting of performance data but also to expand their operations across multiple European territories and beyond.

Notice Information

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.
