## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Oxford City Council has reached the award stage with the title "Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the Provision of a Heat Network Technical Assurance Readiness Review". Classified under energy-efficiency consultancy services, this initiative seeks to ensure compliance with the forthcoming Heat Network Technical Assurance Standards in the UK. The procurement method used is a selective, restricted procedure. This contract, valued at £17,820, was awarded to Hestia Consultants Ltd and covers a contract period from 1st May 2026 to 6th November 2026. The contracting process concluded on 26th March 2026, and the award was published on 28th May 2026. The contract aims to address various global locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This contract offers considerable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services in energy efficiency, building services, and environmental engineering. Such consultancy firms, particularly those with experience in statutory compliance and standards implementation within heat networks, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Although the contract was not deemed suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, organisations with a robust background in consultancy and a capacity for large-scale infrastructure projects would benefit from engaging in such opportunities to expand their reach and expertise in the energy sector.

## Notice

The aim of this Request for Quotation (RFQ) is to appoint a suitably qualified supplier to provide consultancy support Oxford City Council in preparing for compliance with the forthcoming Heat Network Technical Assurance (HNTAS), which will introduce statutory requirements for the performance, operation and customer protection standards of heat networks across the UK.
