Operation and Maintenance (O&M): - Comprehensive operation of the heat network for 15 years, ensuring reliability, efficiency, and compliance with performance and regulatory standards. - Lifecycle maintenance, including routine inspections, system optimization, and replacement of components as required to maintain operational standards. - Provision of a responsive customer support mechanism in collaboration with the Council and future Metering & Billing contractor. The CHN is a vital component of Hackney Council's Climate Action Plan, aiming to deliver substantial carbon savings of approximately 100,000 tonnes CO2e over 40 years. This procurement aligns with the Council's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and supporting affordable and sustainable heat delivery for residents and businesses. This contract, to be procured under the negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition (per the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016), emphasizes value for money, technical excellence, and alignment with long-term sustainability goals.
