## Summary

Hull City Council is engaging in a procurement process for the "Supply of Heat for the Hull District Heat Network - Market Engagement Stage". This project falls within the industry categories of district heating and construction works for power and heating plants. The location of this procurement covers Hull, UK, and other regions such as the Channel Islands and worldwide. The process is currently in the Tender stage, aiming to gather market feedback by October 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM BST. This stage aims to assist in formulating the procurement strategy and model. The formal procurement process for this project is expected to start on October 1, 2025, and end by March 31, 2028. The procurement method is open, inviting a diverse range of suppliers.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of supplying substantial heat volumes, estimated at 21GWh per annum, to the Hull District Heat Network. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, benefiting from the open procedure. Firms proficient in district heating infrastructure, construction of power and heating plants, and related civil engineering works would be well-suited to compete. The project also incorporates environmental sustainability aspects, relying minimally on the Council-owned energy centre's backup, promoting external heat sources as the primary supply.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to appoint suppliers of heat to/for the Hull District Heating Network. Following this market engagement stage, this requirement will shortly be the subject of a formal procurement process. The Council is currently investigating procurement models; this pre-market engagement exercise is to assist in the formulation of the strategy and model to be used. The heat suppliers will need the capacity to supply heat to Phase 1 of the Hull District Heat Network of 21GWh p/a with a peak load of 13MW (approx.) with the possibility to expand over future phases. The heat supply will be supported by a backup supply at/from the Council owned energy centre; however, it is expected that this will be a 'last resort' measure with a majority of the heat supply being drawn from one (or more) available external heat sources secured through the procured arrangements for the Supply of Heat.
