### Lot Information

Lot 1

This ITT is issued by RMBC ("the Council") in connection with the competitive procurement for technical enabling works and connection to a low carbon heat network, followed by the subsequent supply of heat to an initial 5 buildings within the Council's estate (namely Town Hall, Civic Theatre, Clifton Park Museum, Orchard Centre and Riverside House). The scope of this procurement does allow for the potential for the following additional buildings to be added to the network at a later date during the terms of this arrangement (Vine Close Boiler House (district heating residential supply), St Anns Boiler House (district heating residential supply), Beeversleigh Flats, Bailey House, Fusion Magna BIC, Eric Manns Building, Chatham Villas - Doncaster Gate, Clifton Park Garden Building and Centenary Market). The Council will pay for the technical enabling works to its estate for the 5 buildings, but beyond this it is important to note that the Council will be a customer of heat only, and does not intend to invest capital or form any partnership with potential heat network developers to install and manage the heat network in Rotherham. The technical enabling works component of the contract is expected to commence September 2024 and requires completion by 31 March 2025 to comply with the Council's funding obligations to Salix in respect of Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) funding. Works to fully install the heat network are expected to go beyond this date, but connection to the heat network must be achieved by no later than 31 March 2026 for the supply of heat from this date at the latest.

Options: The heat supply agreement will run for a period of 20 years (240 months), with an option to extend by up to a further 5 years (60 months), which can be taken in any combination. As detailed above, the Council also reserves the right to add a number of additional buildings / sites to the network subject (but not limited) to internal approvals, funding and needs and requirements being met.

Renewal: The Council will review its options ahead of the expiry of the supply contract in respect of future heat supply arrangements that meet the needs and requirements of the organisation at that time.
