## Summary

The recent procurement process for facilitating the development of Heat Networks in BCP was undertaken by The West of England Combined Authority. This project falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on feasibility studies for heat network infrastructure. Located in the South West England region, the contracting process has been completed, with key dates including the awarding of the contract signed on 25th August 2025, and the contract running from 8th September 2025 to 30th January 2026. The procurement method adopted was limited competition, below threshold, ensuring tailored participation to align with the project's needs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in renewable energy infrastructure, particularly those skilled in feasibility studies and heat network solutions. Due to the focus on reducing carbon footprints, businesses involved in sustainable energy solutions could see growth by collaborating on such initiatives. Large-scale enterprises like Ramboll UK Limited, which was awarded the contract, exemplify the type of businesses well-suited to these projects, highlighting the potential for other similar organisations to benefit by participating in future procurement processes aligned with sustainability objectives.

## Notice

As part of its overall objective of reducing its carbon footprint, BCP is looking to investigate the potential for heat network infrastructure in the area. An early feasibility study was completed in 2017 , focusing on an area known as Wessex Fields (consisting of the General Hospital and Business Park), with concept designs focused on gas-fired combined heat and power plants (CHP) as the primary heat source. Although the proposed solutions are no longer appropriate, the study demonstrated a networked solution is worth investigating further.
