## Description
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is progressing a Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) supported, low-carbon District Heat Network opportunity in Goole. This UK2 – Preliminary Market Engagement Notice serves as a market consultation exercise, providing potential lead developers the chance to shape the Council’s procurement strategy and delivery model. The Council would like to use this opportunity to test market capability and appetite to refine the future procurement and delivery strategy for this project.
Goole sits at a key location in the Humber Industrial Cluster and is a primary tax and industrial site within the Humber Freeport, anchored by the 300-acre FREEPORT 36 logistics development. Backed by major investments like Siemens Mobility and Guardian Glass, the hub leverages prime M62, M18, rail and maritime connectivity to drive advanced manufacturing. Goole’s FREEPORT 36 Project is a developing 5.5 million sq. ft industrial and manufacturing park.
The network will include the supply of heat to council-owned, public-sector, commercial, residential and several industrial customers. The network concept designs supply 4GWh of public sector demands (principally council and NHS), 2GWh of residential demand and over 40GWh of industrial demands (this figure is expected to grow as the FREEPORT develops). There are multiple heat source opportunities including several industrial heat sources, sewers, a wastewater treatment works and two rivers; River Don and River Ouse. Existing industrial and advanced manufacturing companies with significant heat demands and some potential heat sources are looking to expand their operations in the area; grid capacity in the area is being expanded by over 170MVA to facilitate energy for industrial development.
The Council is seeking engagement with developers with strong experience of development, delivery, operation and investment in heat networks. The Council is conducting this pre-market engagement exercise to engage with potential lead developers to provide preliminary information about the procurement opportunity, with the primary objective of confirming interest in this development opportunity.
The given contract end date is indicative of the construction end. It is expected that the dates will be confirmed during later procurement, an estimated contract end date is expected in 2036.
Lead developers should demonstrate substantial experience in the delivery of heat networks. The Council encourages participation from SMEs and new entrants to ensure a diverse and competitive market; however, we emphasise that this engagement is intended for the lead developers not the wider supply chain. We welcome consortia but emphasise that we will only hold a single meeting with any interested consortium.
