This tender is classified under research and development services, with an estimated contract value of £40,000, and is located in London (SW1H 0ET). The procurement is currently in the Award stage, and respondents were required to submit tenders by the deadline of 25th October 2017, with the contract start date anticipated on 6th November 2017 and completion by 12th January 2018. The tender process was open, allowing various suppliers to participate. This project presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research, consultancy, and technologies related to heat networks and energy efficiency. Companies with expertise in modelling software, heat demand analysis, and energy management systems would find themselves well positioned to compete for the contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as BEIS aims to foster inclusivity in the tender process, providing a valuable chance for innovation and growth within the energy sector. ## Notice The Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy ("BEIS") wishes to commission a project to improve the representation of heat networks for decarbonisation pathway scenarios being developed, in particular to model heat networks with multiple heat sources. We are interested in the influence of relevant factors such as the heat demand, cost and fuel prices on the decision on the sizing, fuel and technology options for heat network under different scenario conditions. Additional information: How to Apply: Tenders are to be submitted electronically to the email address stipulated under 'Contact Details'. See attached Tender documentation for further information. Any late submissions will not be considered. BEIS reserves the right to halt the procurement process and to not award a contract. BEIS will not be held liable for recovery of costs from unsuccessful bids if a contract is not awarded. All costs will be borne by the bidding organisations. If a contract is created it will be upon BEIS Standard Terms and Conditions which are available on Contracts Finder with this notice. After reviewing and evaluating the written proposals, BEIS may decide to hold bid clarification meetings with suppliers.
