        "description": "The final date and time for the submission of bids is 03 May 2018 at 11:00am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement Heat networks are systems of insulated pipes that deliver heat from a central source to multiple end-users. Heat network pipe infrastructure is heat source and fuel agnostic, so can take heat from a variety of low carbon sources including renewables, recovered heat and combined heat and power. There are two types of Heat Network. The first is communal heating, in which all dwellings within a single building are supplied by a single heating system. The second is district heating, where multiple buildings are supplied by a single heating system. Buildings could be residential, public or commercial use or some combination of these. Heat Networks are a key element of the Clean Growth Strategy for the UK's decarbonisation of heat. Heat decarbonisation is essential for the UK to meet its climate change obligations. For low-carbon heating to be prominent in the UK in the future, a large growth in heat networks is going to be required. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) central scenario for the 5th carbon budget shows heat networks serving 18% of buildings heat demand in 2050 (81TWh) and saving 15MtCO2e/year. Achieving this level of expansion in the market will require Government support in overcoming barriers to deployment and increasing the heat network market growth considerably. This research will be essential to build upon the evidence base to support the policy team Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the RFx attachments tab within the Emptoris System. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria set out in the ITQ / RFP document.
