UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of York Council procured heat network optimisation studies, a specialist energy and related services contract. The stated purpose was to deliver the council’s Heat Network Optimisation Studies contract. The work was for delivery in York, within the City of York Council area.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to FAIR HEAT LIMITED. It used a below-threshold limited competition and was arranged as one lot. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and runs from 21 September 2026 to 21 March 2027. Its value is £80,140 excluding VAT (£96,168 including VAT). The published data does not provide a separate award decision date or evaluation criteria.

For suppliers considering similar future work for City of York Council, this contract is evidence of demand for heat network optimisation studies. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant expertise in assessing and optimising heat networks, and the ability to deliver a focused study service for a local authority. The procurement was conducted through limited competition below the applicable threshold, so suppliers should also be prepared to compete through a restricted invitation route rather than assume an open tender. The selected supplier was a small business, showing that a specialist SME was able to undertake this requirement.
