## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process for the "Royal Borough of Kingston District Heating Network" project. This initiative, valued at £12 million gross, aims to establish a heat network utilising waste heat from the local Hogsmill Sewage plant to decarbonise buildings in the area. The council is seeking to appoint a Development Partner to deliver this scheme. Interested parties should note the preliminary market engagement phase is active, with a deadline for responses set at 22nd October 2025. Completion of the full tender process is anticipated to commence in mid-2026, with the contract period running from July 2026 to July 2036. The tender falls under the 'works' industry category, with a primary focus on district heating and construction.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the construction and district heating sectors, particularly those specialising in sustainable and infrastructural development. Companies with expertise in district heating systems or construction of energy-efficient infrastructures would be well-suited to collaborate on this ambitious project. By participating in this procurement, businesses can not only expand their project portfolio but also contribute to environmental sustainability initiatives in the UK, specifically aiding in reducing carbon emissions in Kingston. As the project progresses beyond the planning stage, securing a role as the Development Partner could position a business at the forefront of the UK's green energy transition.
