Launched in March 2022, the GHNF is being implemented by a third-party delivery partner. The GHNF has been allocated funding up to 2027-28 and currently intended to run 9 application rounds, with the 9th round due to close in early 2025 ​The current delivery partner contract will end in June 2028. DESNZ requires a delivery partner, that will be contracted under a Supplementary contract, to continue to compliantly deploy additional GHNF funding, should it become available , from FY 2025/26 or later. In doing so, this Supplementary contract would enable an increased volume of GHNF capital funding to be deployed to additional projects over the next 2-4 financial years. It is important to note that there is currently no additional funding secured. The Supplementary contract will also provide continued Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) services to several heat network capital schemes from FY 2025/26. These schemes include: GHNF Transition Scheme, GHNF, Heat Network Investment Project - HNIP (GHNF predecessor), and HNIP Pilot. The Supplementary contract is expected to include (i) the above-mentioned M&R function as well as (ii) the following services, subject to additional capital funding being secured: - Comprehensive assessment of heat network projects applying to the GHNF (incl. commercial, techno-economic, financial background checks, and deliverability assessment) - Administration of GHNF application windows and Investment Committees - Leading on business development activities (inc. relationship management and stakeholder engagement, communications and marketing) - Project contracting and grant administration - End-to-end project management for the scheme - Project change management function (drawing on technical, legal, and engineering skills/knowledge relevant to the heat networks sector) The Supplementary contract will support delivery of the GHNF, as such the anticipated high-level requirements are as follows: • Scheme mobilisation - Knowledge transfer - Acceptance of GHNF processes • Application and assessment period - Business development management - Application and assessment windows (including Investment Committee membership and Secretariat duties) - Contracting of projects - Management of funding • Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) - ​M&R of projects funded by GHNF under the scope of the Supplementary contract - Management of project change requests submitted by projects funded by GHNF under the Supplementary contract. - Supporting and informing an independent evaluation of the GHNF • Exit management Under the Supplementary contract, M&R services will also be required for existing projects funded by HNIP and HNIP Pilot and for existing projects funded by GHNF and GHNF Transition Scheme. ​See below in Section 2.2.4) Des... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/green-heat-network-fund-ghnf-supplementary-contract-ocds-h6vhtk-0483d8) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planned - **CPV codes:** 09323000, 66120000, 66150000, 66171000, 71313000, 71314300 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** We will run a competitive procedure through the CCS Fund Administration & Disbursement Services (FAADS) DPS (RM6322).
