Tender description

This contract will deliver activities required in the lead up to the launch of the main funding round of the £320m Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP). The activities need to run between September 2017 and March 2018. The key aims of the £320m Heat Networks Investment Project (HNIP) is to: • Increase the volume of heat networks built though providing central Government funding to 2021 which will draw in significant additional investment • Deliver carbon savings for carbon budgets 4 and 5 (spanning the years 2023-2032) and across the lifetime of the infrastructure asset • Build capability among local actors to develop optimised heat networks that will meet local needs, supporting heat networks that would not have been developed without Government support • Help to create the conditions for a self-sustaining heat network market that does not require continued Government funding after this programme of investment support.
