Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Hackney procured open-protocol heat metering hardware for Clift and Dorchester House on the Colville Estate. The equipment is intended to support the borough’s ongoing management of its heat network and refurbishment works at these buildings. This is a specialist heat-metering and energy-infrastructure requirement, rather than a general utilities supply. Delivery is in Hackney, London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Sycous; the contract was signed on 24 September 2026. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, covering the heat metering requirement for Clift and Dorchester House. The contract value is £124,555.50 excluding VAT (£149,466.60 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. The published procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation formula or detailed award criteria.

For suppliers considering similar work for Hackney, this award shows demand for open-protocol heat metering hardware to support management and refurbishment of the borough’s heat network. A credible competitor would need to supply hardware that uses open protocols and can serve the operational needs of heat-network management in residential buildings. Relevant experience with heat metering and integration into existing network operations would help demonstrate fit with the requirement. The scope is a focused, building-specific equipment procurement, so suppliers able to deliver this type of specialist package for two housing blocks are better aligned than firms offering only general energy services or unrelated metering products. The award to Sycous, an SME, also demonstrates that a smaller supplier competed successfully through a limited competition.
