This falls under the services industry sector and is physically located in Nottingham, UKF14 region. As of 26 November 2025, the procurement is in the award stage, having used a direct award procurement method to minimise risk and because alternative suppliers weren't viable.

The contract's total gross value is £330,000.

This contract provides significant opportunities for companies specialising in geothermal technologies, environmental consulting, and energy solutions. SMEs that can offer complementary services like geological assessments or risk evaluations might find a niche in sub-contracting roles. Additionally, businesses focused on innovation in sustainable and renewable energy can develop their portfolios by contributing technologically advanced solutions to such public projects. The demand for comprehensive feasibility studies highlights opportunities for businesses adept at complex data analysis and strategic project planning, nurturing potential growth and establishing long-term partnerships within the public sector.

## Notice
