## Summary

Westminster City Council is currently in the planning stage for a tender titled "District Heating - market engagement". This project focuses on developing a low carbon district heating scheme for the Church Street area in London, which aims to serve between 2,500 and 3,500 homes. The engagement period will conclude on 23rd February 2018, with an early engagement notice published on 22nd September 2017. The initiative is part of the council's broader commitment to carbon emissions reduction and aims to enhance the environmental standards of the regeneration efforts in the area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in public utilities, especially those with expertise in sustainable infrastructure and low carbon technologies. Companies that can provide innovative solutions and insights into contract frameworks, timelines, and procurement routes are encouraged to participate. Engaging with the Westminster City Council team may also provide valuable insights into further collaboration, making this a prime opportunity for businesses aiming to align with government objectives in carbon reduction and air quality improvement.

## Notice

Westminster City Council is developing a district heating scheme for the Church Street area of WCC. In April 2017, WCC secured PS2.56m of grant monies towards the Project from the pilot phase of the Heat Networks Investment Project from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The Church Street district heating scheme is a piece of low carbon infrastructure which facilitates the regeneration of the Church Street area in an environmentally responsible way. The scheme will serve 2,500-3,500 homes and several other buildings. The scheme will enable Westminster City Council (WCC) to deliver on its carbon emissions reduction planning policy obligations for new developments. It will future proof the supply of clean heat to existing residents and realises WCC's wider policy objectives in carbon and air quality. Westminster City Council are undertaking this market engagement in order to shape the strategy for our upcoming procurement and would appreciate the input from suppliers into a number of areas such as contract, timescales and route to market. There may also be an opportunity to meet with the team to discuss the scheme once the responses have been collated.
