## Notice

WMCA has received funding from BEIS (Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy) via the Heat Network Delivery Unit (HNDU) to assist in taking the project to the DPD stage. This stage precedes the commercialisation of a preferred project option. The Scope of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to undertake all work required to secure approval to proceed with the development of a heat network through delivery of an Outline Business Case (OBC). It outlines technical, financial, commercial and legal requirements as per the Heat Networks Delivery Unit (HNDU) framework. An additional requirement of WMCA will also be to consider linkages to Smart Local Energy Systems and opportunities that could arise as the result of a successful DHN scheme. There is also a requirement in the study to design and deliver a de-steaming feasibility report. This report will evaluate the de-steaming requirements of a key off taker to enable it to migrate from its current steam heating system to the proposed DHN.
