## Summary

Gateshead Council has initiated a tender process to secure training consultancy services to support the expansion of Gateshead's Zero Carbon Heat Network. The services are intended to develop the necessary skills for the design, development, construction, and supply chain of a district heat network aimed at heating 7,500 homes. This tender, classified under energy-efficiency consultancy services and heating engineering services for buildings, falls within the services industry category. The procurement method is open procedure, and interested parties must submit their bids by 12:00 GMT on 18 November 2024. The contract is set to commence on 25 November 2024 and will run until 24 June 2025. The opportunity is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in energy efficiency, heating engineering, and specialist training services. Companies with expertise in these areas, particularly those experienced in large-scale district heating projects, will find this tender well-suited to their capabilities. Given the extended contract period and the strategic importance of Gateshead's zero carbon initiative, businesses participating in this tender can expect to gain valuable insights and strengthen their market position. Additionally, SMEs specialising in consultancy and training services related to sustainable energy solutions will find this project highly aligned with their growth objectives.

## Notice

As Gateshead Council develops their ambition to heat 7,500 homes through heat networks, we recognise the need to understand which skills will be required to support a district heat network of this scale, through all stages; design, development, construction and its supply chain . The Council is therefore seeking to appoint a supplier to provide the evidence base, toolkit and become the conveyor for taking steps to implement a secure skills matrix to support the district heat network for the expected 15 year install.
