## Notice

***** THIS IS AN AWARD NOTICE, NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION ***** This procurement is being concluded following a mini competition under the RM3824 Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets framework. Brief Description of Requirement One of the greatest challenges today in meeting the UK's 2050 Net Zero target is decarbonising the way buildings are heated. Most of the buildings in the public sector still rely on fossil fuel-based heating and as these heating systems approach the end of their working lives it is an ideal opportunity to transition to low carbon heating. DESNZ has two primary interlinked schemes designed to meet the challenge of decarbonising public sector buildings: the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) that provides grants for public sector bodies to fund heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures (Phase 3 of the PSDS is providing PS1.425 billion of grant funding over the financial years 2022--2025); and, the Public Sector Low Carbon Skills Fund (LCSF) that provides grants for public sector bodies to put in place a heat decarbonisation plan, providing them with information and expertise they need to develop future applications to the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
