## Notice

It is the intention of Harrogate Town Council, as the Buyer, to appoint the services of a Supplier of district heating technical consultancy to undertake a Feasibility Study compliant with the GB Energy Community Energy Fund Feasibility Report Structure. The Town Council was informed in December 2025 that its application to GB Energy Community Fund for this Stage 1 feasibility study was successful. The outcome of an ITT for technical services to deliver the feasibility study, undertaken in August-September 2025, resulted in Tomson Consulting Ltd being appointed in January 2026. Tomson Consulting Ltd entered liquidation in March 2026, and the Town Council has subsequently agreed to go back to the market with a new ITT. The remainder of the Feasibility Study is to be planned and delivered using a best-practice project management process with engagement of relevant local stakeholders and aligned with the requirements of the Buyer. Please refer to the ITT documents, including project specification, for essential information prior to tendering. The estimated total value of the contract is PS33,721 (excluding VAT).
