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.

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:

title: Circular Economy Implementation Support

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The CEBS framework agreement is due to expire on Sunday 31 March 2024 and has no remaining options to extend the agreement beyond this date.  While we cannot guarantee that further support services will be required, we consider a further extension to be prudent so that it can be used facilitate continued delivery of Services within the scope of the CEBS framework agreement in the event that those services become necessary before the establishment of new  / replacement contracts.

description:
We are currently undertaking a review of our business support services, which includes a range of activities that could be considered part of the Circular Economy that were not necessarily included in the scope of the Circular Economy Business Support (CEBS) framework agreement.  This review will help identify if and how business support services can be provided in future, whether through outsourcing or by in-house resources, which will support the development of a new procurement strategy for the tendering of new and / or replacement service provisions where appropriate.
This modification is being used to extend the period of the framework agreement only, until Tuesday 31 December 2024, with a single three (3) month extension option – to Monday 31 March 2025 – included for contingency purposes only.  It does change the character of the original framework agreement or extend the scope of Services to be provided.  There is also no change to the maximum value, which remains 5,000,00.00 GBP exclusive of Value Added Tax (VAT).
As such, the modification does not meet any of the conditions defined in regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations and is therefore not considered substantial.

description:
The maximum value quoted for each contract and Lot is the same as for the overall framework agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, this is intended to reflect the absolute maximum that might be awarded to any framework supplier and / or through a Lot over the term of the framework agreement, including optional extension periods.  Zero Waste Scotland does not commit to any minimum or maximum spend for any framework supplier or for any individual Lot - this will be determined through the appropriate call off processes.
The cumulative value of all concluded call off contracts shall not exceed the maximum value of the framework agreement.
