UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time) (the "Regulations"). This is a Services Framework Agreement being procured under the Open OJEU Procedure Regulations. BEIS are undertaking two simultaneous procurements in relation to the Programme: 1) Model Development Consultant(s) to develop model(s) to identify heat network zones 2) Zoning Technical Consultant(s) to work with local stakeholders to improve and refine the identification of heat network zones and undertake more detailed feasibility studies For absolute clarity, this procurement is only to appoint Zoning Technical Consultant(s) and the Model Development Consultant(s) is out of scope of this procurement activity. ZTCs are required to: engage with key stakeholders in allocated cities and towns; undertake heat network related data collection and analysis; update preliminary model outputs for the successful pilot implementation model using local data and information; and undertake more detailed heat network assessments and project development work, where required, to help progress identified heat network opportunities within zones.

The largest cities are those where the zones are most likely to be identified. The smallest town that will participate is likely to be 20,000 residents, which will help the Department to determine the likely extension to which a heat network zoning methodology might apply, and the approach overall will help us identify urban typologies in which zones may or may not be identified. The participating cities and towns will be confirmed on appointment. See section I.3) for access to procurement documentation. UK SBS will be using the Delta eSourcing Portal for this procurement.
