## Summary

Wigan Council recently completed a procurement process for a Heat Meter Billing Platform, aimed at supporting the development and operation of heat meter services for extra care schemes in Wigan, England. This tender was initiated on 20 April 2022 and involved a mini-competition under the Procure Public's Meters, Billing & District Heating Framework. The contract period for the awarded service spans from 3 May 2022 to 2 May 2027, with a total contract value of £113,778.82. Interested suppliers had to submit their bids by the deadline on 10 January 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in utility software and billing systems, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies that can offer robust heat meter billing solutions and possess experience in similar projects will be well-positioned to compete for future contracts and potential expansions, especially considering the possibility of additional schemes in the planning stages. Wigan Council's commitment to sustainable infrastructure indicates a growing market for innovative service providers in this sector.

## Notice

Wigan Council are seeking to appoint a Heat meter billing platform provider to serve 2 extra care schemes currently being developed within Wigan Council's direct delivery programme and two existing schemes that are already served by other third party billing providers. More information on the scheme is provided below. A full description of the requirements is available in the associated documents: 1. The two extra care schemes are 51 and 56 units with communal facilities. The successful bidder will be required to provide heat meter billing platform services for these schemes for 5 years. The contractors are employed to install the heat metering equipment so once a provider is successful, we will engage them with the works contractors with regards installing billing equipment. 2. The two additional sites that are currently serviced by other billing providers consist of 39 and 25 apartments in two locations. there is also the possibility of two further schemes of around 25 units each currently in planning stages.
