## Summary

The Worthing Borough Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Worthing Heat Network Project," aimed at financing, designing, building, operating, and maintaining a heat network in Worthing, located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with proposals due by 30 May 2022. The project is valued at £250 million and aims to enhance the heating provision for approximately 22 existing buildings, including Worthing Hospital and the Splashpoint Leisure Centre, thereby supporting the council's goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 and aiding in the decarbonisation process by 2045.

This project presents significant opportunities for businesses in the public utilities sector, particularly those involved in sustainable heating solutions, construction, and infrastructure development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the tender process is designed to be inclusive and accessible. Companies that specialise in innovative energy solutions or those with experience in corporate concession models will be well-suited to compete for this substantial contract.
