Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council is embarking on a procurement process under the planning stage for the "Supply of Heat to the Hull District Heat Network." This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on district heating and network infrastructure, and serves the UKE11 region in the United Kingdom. The process involves market engagement, with a scheduled milestone due on 1st July 2026, to gauge interest for future procurement activities. The procurement exercise will shape the subsequent tendering phase, which aims to establish a framework agreement, possibly incorporating a dynamic purchasing system, starting on 1st February 2027 and running until 31st January 2032, with potential renewal options extending to 31st January 2034.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, involved in district heating, heat recovery systems, waste incinerators, and related construction works. It is a substantial project with an estimated budget of £1.2 million, providing a promising prospect for business growth and participation in critical infrastructure development. Companies with expertise in the construction and operation of heating plants or energy supply and distribution are well-suited to compete, benefiting from a long-term contract with Hull City Council's district heat network initiative. The procurement process emphasizes innovation and collaboration, aligning with strategic growth objectives in the energy sector.
