Description

**Please note this is an award notice, not a competition. This contract has been awarded via the Crown Commercial Services - RM6314 - Demand Management & Renewables Framework - Lot 4.1: Heat Networks - Heat Network Design
 **

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero has a requirement to appoint organisations that have specialist heat network practitioners who are able to assess the technical performance of heat networks participating in the Heat Network Technical Assurance Scheme (HNTAS) pilot programme

The Energy Act 2023 provides for Ofgem to be appointed as regulator of the heat networks sector and grants Ofgem the power to authorise individuals to operate heat networks and undertake supply activity. Ofgem will grant authorisation to a heat network operator, provided that the operator's network meets certain authorisation conditions. The Energy Act provides for compliance with minimum technical standards to be included as one of these conditions. This lays the foundation for technical standards secondary legislation which is expected to come into force in 2025 to introduce mandated minimum technical standards for heat networks (e.g. mandating requirements on water flow
temperatures, pipe insulation, etc). All heat networks (existing and new) across a range of different characteristics (large city sized district heating to single block communal networks) will be in scope of this requirement.

Heat networks are comprised of several elements (e.g. energy centre, district distribution network, communal distribution network, thermal substation, consumer connection and consumer heat system). Heat networks and elements also have several stages within their lifespans (e.g. feasibility, design, construction, and operation and maintenance). The draft Code documents set minimum technical standards for each of these elements and stages. 
 
In order for a heat network to be assured as having met the technical requirements, heat network operators will need to have their networks assessed for different elements at different stages. Once a network passes these assessments the network can apply for a certificate to demonstrate overall compliance

SE1184 Active Environments Framework

Background We’re here to invest in sport and physical activity to make it a normal part of life for everyone in England, regardless of who you are. Because it’s not always a level playing field. Right now, the opportunities to get involved in sport and activity – and reap the rewards of being active – depend too much on your background, your gender, your bank balance and your postcode. We’re determined to tackle this and unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone. This isn’t just about our long-standing purpose of helping more people to enjoy playing sport and being physically active. We believe that by removing existing barriers to sport and activity, we can be part of a bigger picture of work that helps to address many of society’s biggest challenges. Uniting the Movement is our 10-year strategy for 2021-31 aiming to do just that. Together, we can change lives for the better in every home, and in every community, right across the country Sport England We know the physical environment in the spaces we live, and work can have an impact on people being physically active. Active Environments is all about creating the spaces and places to be more active. Ultimately, it’s about developing stronger, happier healthy communities and better places to live, by ensuring our built and natural environments and the connections in between are designed or adapted around people, creating the opportunities to increase physical activity levels. We know bespoke procurement exercises are frequently conducted to appoint specialist support in strategic planning, leisure procurement, urban design and planning. This framework will provide access to specialist consultants (small and medium sized enterprises, as well as larger organisations) with extensive knowledge and expertise, who will be selected for their ability to deliver high quality, consistent services for contracting authorities to support Active Environments and to “create places and spaces for people to be more active and build healthier active communities” Active Environments Framework Sport England as the Authority contracting on behalf of itself and other Contracting Authorities, is tendering for service providers to be on our framework contract to support Sport England and sector partners work on Active Environments (the Services). Active Environments is all about creating the spaces and places to be more active. Sport England is seeking through this procurement process to set up a supply framework with a number of suitably capable Contractors to provide these Services for an initial term of 24 months and an option of Sport England to extend for further periods up to a maximum of an additional 24 months.
