Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council procured heat network consultancy for the Oxford District Heat Network. The requirement covered a Programme Management Office service to support partners’ programme of works, keeping delivery within agreed tolerances for time, budget and quality. It also covered preparation of a heat network prospectus. The work is classified as energy-efficiency consultancy services and was intended for delivery in Oxford. This is a single service requirement managed by Oxford City Council, focused on programme coordination and strategic development of a district heat network rather than construction, equipment supply or routine facilities management. Relevant organisations include specialist heat network consultancies, energy advisers and programme management providers able to work with public-sector partners and coordinate a technically and commercially complex heat decarbonisation programme.

The procurement reached completion and was awarded to Greenfield Nordic Ltd. It used a below-threshold procedure with the method recorded as unknown, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed and awarded on 6 August 2025, with a stated period from 6 August 2025 to 31 July 2026 and an option to extend for one further 18-month period. Its value was £116,079.58 excluding VAT, or £139,295.49 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 10 August 2026, with the termination reason recorded as contract completion. Implementation ended on 30 June 2026, with a final value of £78,497 excluding VAT, or £94,196.40 including VAT. The published outcome identifies Greenfield Nordic Ltd as the supplier for the complete requirement.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to combine heat network and energy-efficiency consultancy with disciplined programme management. The evidence here points to a buyer seeking support for partner-led infrastructure works, including coordination of delivery against time, budget and quality tolerances and production of a prospectus for the district heat network. Relevant capability therefore includes understanding heat network development, advising on energy efficiency, managing interdependent workstreams, monitoring programme performance and communicating clearly with public-sector stakeholders and delivery partners. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate practical experience of taking complex heat or energy programmes from planning through delivery, with the governance, reporting, commercial awareness and quality controls needed to support a local authority and its partners. An SME supplier was selected for this requirement.
