## Description
The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) is seeking to procure the delivery of a low carbon heat network to serve the Granton Waterfront development and existing buildings in the surrounding area under a concession model. The Council wishes to identify a concessionaire with the most economically advantageous tender to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the low carbon heat network using a two-stage process.
The successful tenderer will initially be appointed to work with the Council over a c.8 month period under a Pre-Development contract before a final business case for the project is made.  This approach has been devised as part of the Council’s procurement strategy to reduce the burden of tendering as much as possible on tenderers and to encourage collaboration, innovation, risk apportionment, and partnership between the Council and the concessionaire.
This procurement includes the opportunity to supply heat from the low carbon heat network to: the Council; the other bodies identified in this contract notice; and any Registered Social Landlords with properties in the Granton Waterfront development or surrounding area.
Further details are outlined within the procurement documents.
