## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has awarded a contract for the provision of model management and data services for the National Zoning Model (NZM) to AECOM Limited. This involves the operationalisation, management, and data analysis activities in support of the Heat Network Zoning Policy. The contract, valued at £697,100, is part of the broader Heat Network Zoning Programme and runs from 5th August 2024 to 31st March 2025. The project will be undertaken across various locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom, covering the industry categories of petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy, as well as IT, engineering, construction and consultancy services.

Businesses specialising in energy, software development, and agile project delivery will find significant growth opportunities in aiding the operationalisation and management of the NZM. The focus on support for heat network zoning and the collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholder groups presents vast opportunities for consultancies and IT service providers, particularly those with experience in energy systems and technical consultancy. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in these fields are also considered suitable to compete, thereby offering a platform for these businesses to establish or further their influence within the highly specialised sector of sustainable energy development.
