CT1367 - Heat Network Feasibility Studies Framework Agreement

Description

The City of Edinburgh Council is looking to develop a Framework Agreement consisting of heat network feasibility study consultants. Lot 1: The City of Edinburgh Council is looking to develop a Framework Agreement consisting of heat network feasibility study consultants. The Council have identified 17 prospective heat network zones in Edinburgh. To support the development of heat networks in multiple zones, we wish to commission feasibility studies providing more detailed information on the opportunity in each zone. The core purpose and focus of the studies is to assess whether a potential heat network project is technically feasible and economically viable. The studies produced are not expected to consider the commercial model to be used to deliver the heat network, or to deliver an outline business case. It is envisioned that the areas subject to feasibility studies would generally be aligned to zone boundaries, however in some cases the Council may specify a study area covering more than one zone, or alternatively part of a zone. As such, we envisage that there will be up to 12 to 15 studies undertaken over the full Framework Agreement period, however this should be treated as indicative only.
