## Notice

1.1. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is using Lot 3.2 from its Heat Network Zoning Framework to commission National Zoning Model Management and Data Analytics services from May 2025 until March 2026. 1.2.

The indicative zones produced will be geographical areas where heat networks are expected to be the lowest cost technology to decarbonise heat used in buildings. 1.3.
