description:
Lot 1 – National Zoning Methodology
(Aiming to support ~50 towns & cities in years 1 & 2)
Delivery shall be made in the following Work Packages:
Work Package 1 – Local data collection and stakeholder engagement
The following deliverables shall be required as a minimum for WP1:
1.	Baseline assessment:
A table showing the key anchor loads, potential low carbon heat source types available, existing district and communal heat networks, key constraints in the study area using a DESNZ-provided template.  An assessment of any existing data sources and relationships with key stakeholders related to each of the above, conducted in conjunction with LA stakeholders, captured in the above template.
2.	Stakeholder Communications Plan:
A document detailing the governance of and channels and approach to be used for stakeholder engagement, to be approved by DESNZ and LA, developed using a DESNZ-provided outline template.
3.	Customised stakeholder communication materials:
Communication materials or content in any format for use with stakeholders relevant to the study area and project.  These should be based on DESNZ-provided templates and starting materials (e.g., Joint DESNZ and LA-branded introductory letters and presentations).
4.	Study area stakeholder directory and stakeholder communications log, key meeting records:
A database of organisations and contacts relevant to the study area, and a tracker of stakeholder engagement with those stakeholders, using a DESNZ-provided format.  Records of key meetings held with stakeholders, including decisions made.
5.	Study area dataset directory, datasets and other documents provided by stakeholders:
•	A table providing meta-data about incoming project materials provided by stakeholders relevant to the study area and project, using a DESNZ-provided format.
•	A set of folders aligned with entries in the dataset directory, which hold the materials provided by external stakeholders, including “raw” datasets.
6.	Data transformation log:
A table in a DESNZ-provided format, in which key data cleaning, enhancement and transformations made to the raw datasets for use in the MID formats are recorded.  This provides an audit trail on the provenance of the data uploaded to the National HNZ Model.
7.	Local data in MID formats:
A study-area-level geopackage and tables containing data which have been collated and transformed (see item 6) to match a format specified by DESNZ, ready for import into the NZM.  This will allow revised HNZs to be generated by the NZM for the local refinement exercise.  A geopackage is a structured set of map layers and geocoded data for a given geographic boundary.
8.	Project management deliverables,
As specified in the project management section, below, including general information management requirements for project filing. Examples deliverables may include Supplier contact list and regular project reporting (progress vs. deliverables, RAID register, budget and spend tracker, project-level consolidated deliverable trackers for all work packages).
Services under this lot will be agreed on a Task Order basis, with the scope detailed in advance and a budget allocated to it.
The call off procedure for Lot 1 is as follows:
The call off procedure for the framework (city allocation) will be in order of consultant scoring at procurement stage. The highest scoring, successful consultant will be allocated one of the locations by DESNZ such as a town/city or London Borough then the second highest scoring consultant will be given the next allocated city by DESNZ. This will continue down the list of consultants and revolve back to the start of the consultants list until the cities are fully allocated. A consultant can decline to take on additional cities after Allocation Round 1 if they are not able to resource further cities.

Lot 1 - Heat Network Zoning Delivery Support
The Lot 1 specification outlines the scope for consultancy services aimed at assisting DESNZ and Local Authorities (LA) implement the standardised heat network zoning methodology. The specific zoning methodology will be elaborated further in comprehensive guidance, which all LAs and Suppliers will be required to follow. Detailed methodology guidance is currently in development and subject to change. Nevertheless, this specification describes the Department’s current understanding of the methodology which also broadly reflects the approach developed in the HNZPP.
Work Packages Summary
This specification describes the indicative scope, activities and outputs across the three work packages (WP) under Lot 1. These WPs include:
- WP1 – Local data collection and stakeholder engagement
- WP2 – Refinement of HNZs
- WP3 – Zoning market prospectus development and HNZ designation support
The WPs are to be implemented sequentially and in doing so, the Client, LA and Supplier continually develop, clarify and inform the potential opportunity for zonal-scale heat network development (supported by the HNZ policy) in a location.
Standardised templates and guidance shall be provided to Suppliers by the Client for all deliverables required during the delivery of project work under this framework.
Any assumptions which are required shall be logged by Suppliers within the deliverables listed in the WPs below or as otherwise directed by the Client.
The envisaged number of Suppliers that meet the minimum qualification threshold that can be appointed to Lot 1 is 15.
The call off procedure for Lot 1 is as follows:
The call off procedure for Lot 1 will be in order of consultant scoring at procurement stage. The highest scoring, successful consultant will be allocated one of the locations by DESNZ such as a town/city or London Borough then the second highest scoring consultant will be given the next allocated city by DESNZ. This will continue down the list of consultants and revolve back to the start of the consultants list until the cities are fully allocated. A consultant can decline to take on additional cities after Allocation Round 1 if they are not able to resource further cities.

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 19th January 2024 at 11:00hrs GMT.
DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.
All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.
UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) invite you to this Request for Proposal in supporting the Heat Network.
UK SBS is managing this procurement process in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as may be amended from time to time) (the “Regulations”).
This is a Services Framework Agreement being procured under the Open Procedure.
Background
The Energy White Paper, Heat & Buildings Strategy, and Net Zero Strategy have committed to introducing heat network zoning in England by 2025. Heat network zoning will revolutionise the development of heat networks in towns and cities across England.
By designating zones where heat networks offer the most cost-effective solution for decarbonising heat, local authorities and heat network developers can swiftly identify where new large-scale strategic heat networks should be constructed. This strategic approach aims to enhance the efficiency of the heat network development process, helping to streamline and target the multi-billion-pound investment needed to deliver heat networks on the scale required to meet the UK’s net-zero goals.
The development of the heat network zoning process will be supported by the Energy Bill, providing the government with the authority to implement zoning in England. This will involve creating a nationwide methodology for identifying and designating heat network zones, establishing a Zoning Coordinator role, and possibly a Central Authority to oversee zoning at a national level.
Access to skilled consultants is vital for the zoning process's success, and this procurement aims to establish a consultant framework as we move from the pilot phase towards a business-as-usual process in line with the national heat network zoning policy coming into force in 2025.
This Framework Agreement is split into the following Lots:
Lot 1 – National Zoning Methodology
Lot 2 – Advanced Zoning Delivery which is sub lotted as follows:
- Sub-Lot 2.1 – Project Management Support

- Sub-Lot 2.5 – Legal Support
Lot 3 - National Zoning Model which is sub lotted as follows:
- Sub-Lot 3.1Model Development Support
- Sub-Lot 3.2 Model Maintenance and Data Support
You may bid for one or more lots however the bids for each lot will be evaluated separately. If you intend to bid for more than one lot, you must submit a separate bid for each lot you are bidding for.
