It is the intention of Harrogate Town Council, as the Buyer, to appoint the services of a Supplier of district heating technical consultancy to undertake a Feasibility Study compliant with the GB Energy Community Energy Fund Feasibility Report Structure. The Town Council was informed in December 2025 that its application to GB Energy Community Fund for this Stage 1 feasibility study was successful. The outcome of an ITT for technical services to deliver the feasibility study, undertaken in August-September 2025, resulted in Tomson Consulting Ltd being appointed in January 2026. Tomson Consulting Ltd entered liquidation in March 2026, and the Town Council has subsequently agreed to go back to the market with a new ITT. The remainder of the Feasibility Study is to be planned and delivered using a best-practice project management process with engagement of relevant local stakeholders and aligned with the requirements of the Buyer. Please refer to the ITT documents, including project specification, for essential information prior to tendering. The estimated total value of the contract is £33,721 (excluding VAT).

| Item | Category | Quantity |

| 1 | District heating, Feasibility study | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is District heating (09323000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 09 | 1,837 | 4 median · 34.4 average (667 of 1,837 with a bid count) | 5 average (768 of 1,837 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 0 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKE2 | 6 | 120.5 median · 397 average (4 of 6 with a bid count) | 19.8 average (4 of 6 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 14 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
No planning milestones published.
No linked framework, prior procurement or reprocurement published.
