This initiative is categorised under 'services' within the legal advisory industry, focusing on creating efficient delivery models for heat networks. The contract process involves a completed award stage, with Addleshaw Goddard LLP selected as the active supplier following an open procurement procedure. The project began with a tender stage on 6th November 2024, following careful planning since September 2024. Key dates include extended deadlines in December 2024 due to logistical adjustments, with the award contract signed on 14th February 2025 for a value of £49,910. The procurement process unfolded within the Dundee City Council area, located in region UKM71. This tender offers expansive opportunities for businesses specialising in legal and commercial advisory services to engage in a long-term heat network deployment strategy in Dundee. Ideal candidates are organisations with expertise in developing district heat delivery models, conducting options appraisals, and supporting complex commercial strategy developments. The tender has proven engaging for foreign bidders, with four non-EU submissions in electronic format, yet opportunities remain for local businesses to contribute strategically. Businesses well-suited to this endeavour include those capable of offering comprehensive legal and advisory services, alongside practical commercial modelling support, as well as those with a robust capability in strategy and procurement sourcing within the environmental and infrastructural domains. ## Notice Legal Advisory Advisory Services on the development of district heat delivery models or similar including the development of options appraisal/commercial modelling and accountancy and development of procurement sourcing strategy ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Council wishes to determine the optimum delivery model and procurement sourcing strategy which should be adopted to unlock long-term heat network deployment at scale within the city.
