## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has recently completed the procurement process for updates to the Heat Network Market Growth Model. The contract, valued at £38,369 GBP, falls under the industry category of Research and Development Consultancy Services (CPV 73200000). The procurement process was a direct, single tender action, conducted below the threshold. The key dates include the end of the tender period on 23rd August 2024, and the contract period extending from 16th September 2024 to 15th October 2024. The locations covered by this contract include the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in consultancy services in research and development. Large-scale companies, particularly those with substantial experience in developing growth models and providing quality assurance, like Ove Arup & Partners Limited who have secured the contract, are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. Business growth can be fostered through such governmental collaborations, aiding in further expansions in various geographical regions. While this specific tender might not cater to SMEs or VCSEs, it underscores the demand for highly specialized consultancy services in the public sector.

## Notice

This notice is for the Heat Networks Growth Scenarios model, which has been in development since mid-2023.
