    "description": "Plymouth City Council (PCC) was seeking a Development Partner (DP) to develop and deliver a heat network(s) in the Plymouth's South Coast and Derriford areas. Initially, the DP will be responsible for design and commercialisation of the proposed heat network, up to an approval gateway. The DP will be required to meet minimum mandatory requirements for the proposed heat network, set out in the Development Agreement. If approval is granted the delivery stage will commence. The DP will use a special purpose vehicle in which Plymouth City Council will hold a \"golden share\"\nPCC has undertaken commercialisation work in relation to an initial phase of a heat network in Plymouth's South Coast area, which identified a viable commercial scheme using a significant waste heat source (South West Water Central Plant). A number of public and private sector entities, such as the University of Plymouth, Arts University Plymouth, Devon & Cornwall Police, Plymouth City Council, National Marine Aquarium, Theatre Royal and Plymouth Community Homes are interested in being connected to the heat network to meet their Net Zero ambitions, other parties may join the scheme in future.\nThe Plymouth South Coast and Derriford areas have been identified through the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero's heat network zoning pilot, as being suitable for low-carbon heat networks. Exclusive rights to develop heat networks in these areas will be subject to the outcome of future Zoning Regulations.\nPlymouth City Council have secured government Green Heat Network Fund grant towards the new heat network costs, including commercialisation and construction costs. The remaining development and delivery funding will be provided by the appointed Development Partner.\nThe contract will consist of two stages: the Development Stage culminating in an approval gateway, and subject to that approval, the Delivery Stage.\nThe Delivery Stage shall be subject to an evergreen (in perpetuity) Shareholders' Agreement. Therefore, the contract end dates and associated contract value below have been included for system purposes only based on the Council's best current estimate.",

Initially, the Development Partner will be responsible for design and commercialisation of the proposed heat network, up to an approval gateway. The DP will be required to meet minimum mandatory requirements for the proposed heat network, set out in the Development Agreement. If approval is granted the delivery stage will commence. The DP will use a special purpose vehicle in which Plymouth City Council will hold a \"golden share\"\nPCC has undertaken commercialisation work in relation to an initial phase of a heat network in Plymouth's South Coast area, which identified a viable commercial scheme using a significant waste heat source (South West Water Central Plant). A number of public and private sector entities, such as the University of Plymouth, Arts University Plymouth, Devon & Cornwall Police, Plymouth City Council, National Marine Aquarium, Theatre Royal and Plymouth Community Homes are interested in being connected to the heat network to meet their Net Zero ambitions, other parties may be join the scheme in future. \nThe Plymouth South Coast and Derriford areas have been identified through the Department of Energy Security and Net Zero's heat network zoning pilot, as being suitable for low-carbon heat networks. Exclusive rights to develop heat networks in these areas will be subject to the outcome of future Zoning Regulations. \nPCC would like to draw the attention of interested suppliers to the fact that all activities delivered after the development stage shall be subject to an evergreen Shareholders' Agreement. Therefore, the contract period dates and associated contract values below have been included for system purposes only based on the Council's best current estimate.\nPlymouth City Council have applied for government Green Heat Network Fund grant towards the new heat network costs, including commercialisation and construction costs. The remaining development and delivery funding will be provided by the appointed Development Partner.",

During the first development stage, the Development Partner will be responsible for design and commercialisation of the proposed heat network. It is envisaged that this will be followed by a delivery stage where the Development Partner would deliver the low carbon heating and cooling network to the City Centre and Millbay areas. \nThe proposed heat network will utilise a significant waste heat source (South West Water Central Plant) and supplies the following clusters of buildings: University of Plymouth, Arts University Plymouth, Devon & Cornwall Police, Plymouth City Council buildings, National Marine Aquarium, Theatre Royal and Plymouth Community Homes flats. \nIn addition, two preliminary heat network zones have been identified by Department of Energy Security and Net Zero, which offer significant future opportunities for expansion, beyond the initial phase, subject to zone regulations.\nThe Council would like to draw the attention of interested suppliers to the fact that all activities delivered after the development stage shall be under an Evergreen form of contract. Therefore the contract period dates and associated contract values below have been included for estimated and system purposes only based on the Council's best current estimate.\nPlymouth City Council are applying for the government Green Heat Network Fund to contribute towards the new heat network costs, including commercialisation and construction costs.
