## Summary

The buying organisation, Ofgem, has awarded a contract for the Heat Networks Digital Platform Project: Discovery Phase to Made Tech. The project involves creating a cloud-based digital platform for regulatory data collection in the heat networks market. The contract value is £144,000 GBP, with a contract period from 22nd August 2022 to 28th November 2022. The procurement method used was an Open procedure, and the tender period ended on 1st January 2022.

This tender provides business growth opportunities for services related to business analysis consultancy and business management. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Located in London, the opportunity focuses on creating a digital platform for regulatory data management in the heat networks market. Businesses interested in digital service development and regulatory compliance services are encouraged to explore this contract.

## Notice

Government are legislating to introduce statutory regulation for the heat networks market. Ofgem will be the regulator. The Heat Networks team believe that to regulate the heat networks market effectively, Ofgem will require a cloud-based digital platform for collecting regulatory data direct from the regulated entities. This would include collecting data to verify compliance, provide analytical insight and manage invoicing and general administration. In line with the Government Digital Service (GDS) Service Manual, the recommended approach for creating digital public services is to begin by launching a discovery phase. This will allow Ofgem to understand the challenges around creating a heat networks service before Ofgem commits to building it.
