Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has issued a tender for the development, accreditation, and delivery of a suite of training courses that support the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS). This procurement, currently in the tender stage, invites submissions for a contract valued at £183,334. The services required fall under the industry category of technical and training services, specifically targeting technical training within the UK. Submissions must be made via the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal by 4th November 2024, with the contract period starting shortly after. DESNZ anticipates developing around ten HNTAS training courses by March 2025, with delivery continuing into Autumn 2025. The procurement follows an open procedure, ensuring broad participation and compliance with established public procurement regulations.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in technical and industrial training, particularly those with expertise in heat network systems and regulatory compliance. Companies experienced in developing and accrediting technical training programmes will find this contract well-suited to their capabilities, with the potential for creating new roles such as HNTAS assessors and coordinators due to upcoming regulatory requirements. Working with DESNZ, businesses can leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and enhance their market presence in the energy sector. The contract duration is set at 11 months, with an optional extension of up to six months, providing ample time for the successful completion and potential growth from this project.

Notice Information

Notice Title

SHADOW TRAINING PROVIDER OF THE HEAT NETWORK TECHNICAL ASSURANCE SCHEME (HNTAS)

Notice Description

DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) wishes to establish a Contract for services to develop, accredit and deliver a suite of training courses underpinning the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS). Upcoming regulation is due to mandate certain technical requirements for heat networks, under HNTAS. These requirements will span across several elements of a network (i.e. energy centre, district distribution network, communal distribution network, thermal substation, and consumer connection), and will also apply temporally across a range of stages within a network's lifecycle (i.e. feasibility, design, commissioning and operation and maintenance). The introduction of these requirements will apply to both new build and existing networks, and introduce the need for the vast majority of existing networks to undertake works to meet performance and reliability thresholds. As such, we know that there will be increased demand for existing heat network skills, as well as an emergent demand for new roles that will be introduced by regulation. Most of the new roles (e.g. HNTAS assessors, HNTAS coordinators, etc) will result from the new regulatory obligations to track the compliance of networks with technical standards through HNTAS. We are looking for a supplier, or consortium of suppliers with experience of accrediting and delivering heat network training. This will involve developing and accrediting approximately 10 HNTAS training courses by the end of March 2025, and delivering them into Autumn 2025. 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.
