UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South East Wales Corporate Joint Committee commissioned a heat network procurement project covering research and related consultancy services in South East Wales. The work involves reviewing waste heat opportunities identified in Local Area Energy Plans, narrowing them to three viable sites, and then undertaking a high-level feasibility assessment for those opportunities. The assessment considers whether the sites could be taken forward using low-carbon heat sources. The buyer is a public authority based in Cardiff, and delivery is in South East Wales. This is a focused advisory and feasibility requirement for organisations working in heat networks, energy planning, low-carbon heat, waste heat assessment, infrastructure development or related research and consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one completed lot. AECOM Limited was selected on 9 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 December 2026. Its value is £28,198 excluding VAT, or £33,837.60 including VAT. The evaluation basis is reflected in the limited competition process. The awarded service is classified as research and development services and related consultancy services. The contract remains active, with South East Wales Corporate Joint Committee as the buyer and AECOM Limited as the supplier.

This procurement shows demand for specialist support that can turn strategic energy-planning evidence into a short list of viable heat network opportunities and then test their feasibility. A credible future supplier would need to assess waste heat sources, understand Local Area Energy Plans, compare potential sites, and evaluate the practicality of low-carbon heat solutions at a high level. Relevant capability is likely to combine heat network knowledge with energy strategy, technical research, infrastructure appraisal and clear consultancy reporting. Experience of screening multiple opportunities and producing decision-ready feasibility advice would be particularly relevant. The requirement is modest and focused, so suppliers suited to tightly scoped public-sector studies and able to work with regional public authorities would be well placed.
