UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow bought specialist consultancy support on heat network regulatory compliance. The work is to help the Council meet its statutory duties, including registering heat networks and complying with related regulatory requirements, and to achieve compliance milestones while reducing the risk of regulatory breaches. This is energy-efficiency consultancy work (CPV 71314300), delivered for the Council in Harrow, London. The requirement centres on regulatory expertise for heat networks rather than physical installation or maintenance. Chirpy Heat Ltd was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Chirpy Heat Ltd through a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026 and runs from 5 October 2026 to 2 April 2027. Its value is £85,000 excluding VAT (£102,000 including VAT). The requirement was arranged as one lot. The stated purpose includes meeting regulatory obligations and achieving compliance milestones ahead of the January 2027 deadline; this deadline is distinct from the contract end date. The published information does not describe a competitive evaluation or scoring basis: the supplier was appointed directly.

For firms supplying heat network regulatory advice, this award demonstrates that Harrow buys specialist support to register heat networks and meet statutory compliance duties, including milestone planning and reducing regulatory risk. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in heat network regulation and the ability to guide a council through registration and related compliance actions within a defined delivery period. The single-provider award indicates a focused consultancy requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Chirpy Heat Ltd, an SME, was selected, showing that a specialist small supplier was considered capable of delivering this support. Relevant firms should be able to evidence practical knowledge of the regulatory requirements and capacity to provide timely, public-sector-facing advice.
