## Summary

The public procurement contracting process summarises the award for the Gateshead Heat Network Project, undertaken by Housing 21, a body governed by public law based in Birmingham. This project falls under the industry category of heating equipment and district heating, with a specific location in Sunderland, UKC23 region. The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the local heat network being council-owned and operated by Gateshead Energy Company, which made a competitive tender exercise impossible. The final contract was signed on 30th September 2024, marking the project in the Award stage.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of heating infrastructure and services. Given the specific nature of the procurement, it is particularly suited for large-scale suppliers with capabilities in district heating and energy management. Companies like the Gateshead Energy Company that specialise in energy projects and have previous experience working with public sector-owned networks stand to benefit from similar future opportunities, allowing for potential business growth and enhancement of their portfolio within the energy sector.

## Notice

The work being completed is the connection of the building to the local heat network, this has to be completed by the heat network operator (in this case Gateshead Energy Company) because the local network is council owned. This makes a competitive tender exercise impossible. The network that they control is being extended past our premises and an offer was made to supply heat to our building. This award can only be made to the heat network operator, it is an impossibility to test the market for the work or heat provision.
