## Summary

The London & Quadrant Housing Trust has finalised a direct award contract with Vattenfall Brent Cross Limited to supply heat for over 6,500 homes in the Brent Cross Town Development, alongside operational and maintenance responsibilities for the energy system. Situated in London, this contract forms part of a larger regeneration project with a focus on heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning installation work, as well as energy and related services. The contract began on 5th December 2025 and will run until 30th November 2030, with potential extension up to 2035. This initiative falls under the procurement stage of 'Award,' guided by Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023, which allows direct awards due to exclusivity and the absence of technical competition. The contract is valued approximately at £2,000,000 GBP, although the actual value remains uncertain due to the direct award nature.

This tender opens up significant business growth opportunities to firms involved in energy services and heating system maintenance, especially those that can support large-scale operations such as urban regeneration projects. Since Vattenfall Brent Cross Limited holds exclusive rights required for this contract, businesses in associated sectors like supply chain logistics, component manufacturing, and specialist engineering services can find their niche in subcontracting and ancillary services. This may benefit companies that are innovative in technological advancements within renewable energy and efficient systems. However, due to the limited competition involved, businesses should be prepared for collaborations rather than direct bids for the supply of services within similar exclusive frameworks.

## Notice

As part of a wider regeneration scheme, Vattenfall Brent Cross Limited ("Vattenfall") has solely been appointed by the developer to (1) supply heat and (2) to operate and maintain the energy system that provides the heat to 6,500+ homes in the Brent Cross Town Development. London & Quadrant Housing Trust ("L&Q") have purchased 120 properties within the Brent Cross Town Development and so, a supply of heat agreement is required between L&Q and Vattenfall. L&Q is making a direct award to Vattenfall under Section 41 of the Procurement Act 2023 because a direct award justification applies and Vattenfall is not an excluded supplier. L&Q considers the following conclusions are met in relation to the public contract and therefore, the direct award justifications set out in Schedule 5(6) and (7) of the Procurement Act 2023 can be relied on: (a) due to Vattenfall having exclusive rights in respect of the supply of heat to the Brent Cross Town Development, only Vattenfall can supply the services required; (b) due to an absence of competition for technical reasons, only Vattenfall can supply the services required; and (c) there are no reasonable alternatives to those services. The actual value of the contract is currently unknown and cannot be reliably estimated due to the nature of the direct award and the exclusivity of the supplier. For the purposes of this notice, an indicative value has been inserted. L&Q has treated the contract as above threshold to ensure compliance with the Procurement Act 2023.
