The study will focus on developing heat networks in the N-E Square Mile area and connecting with London Borough of Hackney projects. The tender, with a value of £270,000, will include two parallel studies - NESQM and CBHS - to explore heat decarbonisation opportunities through interconnection of networks. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in civil engineering consultancy and infrastructure works consultancy services, especially those with experience in heat network development and low-carbon sources. The procurement process, led by the City of London Corporation, is in the planning stage, aiming to release the ITT in early November 2023. Businesses interested in competitive procedure with negotiation via the CapitalEsourcing portal can consider this opportunity to contribute to decarbonisation efforts in the Square Mile area. ## Notice The City of London Corporation (CoLC) have committed through their Climate Action Strategy to support the Square Mile to achieve Net Zero by 2040. CoLC have identified support for developing existing and future heat networks as a priority as evidenced through our recent Local Area Energy Plan (LAEP) and seek to undertake more detailed studies on specific network expansion and decarbonisation opportunities. The LAEP identified the N-E Square Mile area as having the highest heat density in the Square Mile and thus being a high priority for future heat network development. Based on these findings, CoLC have completed a heat network masterplan for this N-E Square Mile area (including parts of South Hackney and west Tower Hamlets), which shed significant waste heat potential from many office building cooling systems in this area, as well as from data centres, UKPN substations and large sewer mains. The CoLC intend to procure a consultant to progress the masterplan finings to feasibility stage. Separately, London Borough of Hackney (LBH) have developed a heat network masterplan for a number of areas, including South Shoreditch which is just across the boundary with the Square Mile, with the long-term vision of connecting up each of these network areas. LBH are separately seeking to undertake a heat network feasibility study for South Shoreditch (SS). The CoLC are aware that developing large scale, interconnected heat networks across LA boundaries can bring a number of mutual benefits, relating to the ability to 'share' waste heat and key strategic low-carbon sources (especially those close to the LA boundary). To quantify and capitalise on these opportunities requires a collaborative approach between LAs for energy modelling and engagement with low-carbon/waste heat sources & owners. As such, this commission will include two separate studies to be delivered in parallel - The North-East Square Mile Feasibility Study (NESQM) and the Cross Boundary Heat Sharing Study (CBHS). The NESQM study will focus on the economic and technical feasibility of developing a heat network in this area too solely supply buildings within the CoL boundary, while the CBHS study will assess the viability and potential benefits of interconnection of the networks developed during the NESQM and SS studies. Both studies in this commission will require close collaboration with the SS feasibility study, with information shared between the three studies to build a comprehensive picture of the optimal solution for heat decarbonisation in this area. While there will be some overlap, the CoLC expect the consultant to issue separate deliverables for each study. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Corporation's intention is to use Competitive Procedure with Negotiation for this procurement process. The ITT is estimated to be released in early November 2023 via the City of London Corporation tendering Portal, CapitalEsourcing. Additional information: This procurement will be carried out via a call off from the Greater London Authorities' Local Energy Framework, reference GLA81635. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032719-2023 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 13 Nov 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £270,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2P 2EJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI43 Haringey and Islington | | Local authority | Islington | | Electoral ward | Clerkenwell | | Westminster constituency | Islington South and Finsbury | | Delivery location | TLI London, TLI31 Camden and City of London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71311100 - Civil engineering support services - 71311300 - Infrastructure works consultancy services ## Release History - 6 Nov 2023 at 09:55 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032719-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
