Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has recently completed a procurement process for the "Leeds Heat Network - Leeds Magistrates Court," a district heating service contract valued at £2.5 million. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, allowing for direct award without prior competition, as there is only one available district heating network in Leeds, aligning with Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR 2015. This 20-year contract covers the installation and ongoing maintenance of a heating system for the Leeds Magistrates Court, with a critical focus on contributing to decarbonisation goals and achieving net-zero carbon by 2050. The contract was officially signed on 17 June 2022, following the completion of the tender stage.

This contract presents compelling opportunities for businesses in the energy and infrastructure sectors, particularly those specialising in district heating services, renewable energy solutions, and maintenance of heating systems. Firms with expertise in constructing or operating district heating networks would be well-suited to engage in similar future tenders or partnerships with the Ministry of Justice or local councils, as this initiative aligns with government commitments to sustainability and carbon reduction strategies.
