The London Borough of Southwark is in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Communal Heating Major Works" within the work industry category, aimed at enhancing communal heating infrastructure. The procurement is set to commence with a framework agreement starting on 1 June 2027 and concluding on 31 May 2031, with the possibility of extension until 31 May 2032. This project is located in the region of UKI44, London, and has an estimated gross value of £48,000,000.
