## Summary

The procurement process involves the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust, which has awarded a contract titled "Worthing Heat Network Connection - Works" to connect Worthing Hospital to the Worthing Heating Network, aiding in decarbonisation efforts. This project falls under the heating works category within the construction industry and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the postal code BN11 2DH. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 23rd December 2024, and the contract period spans from 3rd March 2025 to 14th December 2026. The award was made to VITAL ENERGI UTILITIES LIMITED on 26th February 2025, with a contract value of £13,993,816.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in large-scale heating and energy infrastructure projects. Given the substantial contract value and the focus on decarbonisation, companies involved in sustainable energy and construction could benefit greatly. However, it is ideal for larger enterprises as the suitability criteria specify that neither small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) nor voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are preferred. The project not only promises a considerable financial gain but also positions the successful contractor at the forefront of sustainable energy solutions within the healthcare sector.
