## Summary

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, based in London, has completed a procurement process for the development of a "Subsurface heat geospatial platform" valued at £200,995.44. This project, under the industry category of Research and Development services (CPV code 73000000), involves the collection and integration of geothermal-related datasets into a metadata catalogue. The initiative aims to demonstrate geothermal potential and economic feasibility within Great Britain. The British Geological Survey (BGS), located in Nottingham, will host the platform. The procurement process followed a limited method due to the exclusive rights held by the BGS. The contract was signed on 15 August 2024, with the status marked as 'active'.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses operating in geospatial technology, geological surveys, and data integration. Companies with expertise in geothermal energy, hydrological modelling, and metadata management would find this contract particularly advantageous. Given the exclusive provision due to BGS's intellectual property, businesses with unique, proprietary data or tools relevant to subsurface studies could see growth opportunities in similar future procurements. The project supports the energy sector's transition towards sustainable resources, encouraging innovation and collaboration among businesses specialising in renewable energy technologies.

## Notice

Collection and collation of geothermal related datasets and tools which will be integrated into a metadata catalogue. Geological, hydrological modelling and cost data will be utilised to output information layers which demonstrate the technical potential and the economic feasibility of geothermal in GB. These two parts will be housed on an openly accessible platform hosted by the BGS which will allow user to utilise the contents interactively to assess geothermal prospects prior to pre-feasibility studies.
