The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) wishes to establish a Contract for services to commercialise a low carbon heat network within Westminster and then coordinate its delivery should the commercialisation be successful. The South Westminster Area Network (SWAN) is a heat network opportunity within Westminster that has been developed so far as part of the Department's wider Advanced Zoning Programme. It estimates annual heat demand in excess of 400GWh/y when fully built out. The Department is looking to select a Development Partner with the skills and resources necessary to commercialise a low carbon heat network within Westminster and then deliver it should the commercialisation be successful. The Department and its consultants have engaged with a number of stakeholders across Westminster and have had positive feedback on the proposal to develop a large-scale low carbon heat network in the area. Westminster City Council and the Westminster Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are supportive of the project and will engage directly with the Development Partner when selected. The successful Development Partner will be paid by the Department a fee to commercialise SWAN. The cost to the Department of these commercialisation services will be part of the bid process but would be limited to a maximum of PS1m and would be governed by a Development Agreement between the Department and the successful bidder over the commercialisation period. An application has been made to the Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) for an additional PS1m of commercialisation grant and PS40m of construction period grant. A decision on whether this has been successful or not is expected to have been made during the procurement period (currently expected to be April-July). How to Apply DESNZ will be using the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal for this procurement. To register on the Jaggaer eSourcing portal please use the link https://beisgroup.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ and follow the instructions to register as a supplier.

                "description": "When heat network zoning regulations come into force we intend to move the SWAN area forward for designation as a heat network zone, or possibly a heat network delivery area within a wider zone, with the successful bidder for this procurement benefiting from the proposed incumbency rules as they apply to the SWAN area. In relation to activities beyond the limits of the SWAN Area the successful bidder for SWAN would need to bid for zone rights through the competed process managed by either the future Zone Coordinator or Central Authority as appropriate. Duration The Contract duration shall be for a period of 18 months with optional extension of 12 months. Type of Agreement The governance model for SWAN is proposed to be a Development Agreement during the commercialisation phase of Project SWAN (2024-2026). The Development Agreement will set out the key objectives currently envisaged for SWAN, including: * A low carbon heat network to be developed in the Westminster area, * The network that is taken to delivery will need to be of sufficient size * The pace of delivery The Development Agreement will have bilateral termination rights dependant on certain contingent outcomes primarily focused on: * Does the project remain viable? * Has a GHNF grant been obtained for the project? The Development Agreement will have payment terms that relate to achievement of agreed milestones. Should the project be successfully commercialised then there would be a decision point about whether to take the project forward to delivery. Should the project be taken forward to delivery, the Department's governance over the project from that point onwards would be through the Grant Funding Agreement under the Green Heat Network Fund (assuming the application is successful). Beyond this, the Department's long-term objectives are intended to be achieved through regulations regarding customer protection, technical standards and potentially heat network zoning, should the SWAN area be designated as a heat network zone, from 2025 when these regulations are due to come into force.
