## Summary

The University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement process for the "Worthing Heat Network Connection - Design" project, which involves connecting Worthing Hospital to the local Worthing Heating Network. This tender, classified under heating works, falls in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement was at the award stage as of February 18, 2025, with a contract period starting on December 2, 2024, and ending on February 28, 2025. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates included the tender period ending on October 23, 2024.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses involved in heating systems and network infrastructure, particularly those capable of managing and delivering comprehensive design and construction phases. The £293,701.71 contract awarded to VITAL ENERGI UTILITIES LIMITED demonstrates the scale and potential of this project for larger firms in this sector. Although SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this tender, larger energy utilities and construction firms with robust experience in similar projects would find substantial business growth opportunities working with a prominent NHS Trust.
