## Description
This procurement seeks to establish an innovation partnership (comprised of a number of LOTS) for capable suppliers to provide geothermal energy in the form of warm water to a number of NHS Trust hospital sites in the UK (each a LOT).  One innovation partnership agreement, with one supplier, will be entered into for each LOT
Should the innovation partnership agreement for a LOT be successful then the parties will seek to enter a long term energy services agreement offering cost effective low temperature hot water supplies based on a minimum take and unit energy price related to the KwH heat consumed by the hospital. The ITT financial model shows how this would be calculated and the relationship between the energy price and the base year gas price.
Annual indexation of the heat price will be permitted at a rate not exceeding CPI, and overall economic evaluation will include the investment required and will be expected reduce the site carbon footprint and be competitive with the overall cost of heating the hospital from traditional sources, after including pumping costs or heatpump running costs 
It is expected that the Partnership will progress over a number of stages, at each of which the viability of the project will be reconsidered.
Full access to some contract documents is contingent on the receipt by the Contracting Authority of a signed non-disclosure agreement (refer to the ITT for details). Early application is recommended to allow time to meet the response deadline.
Several of the LOTS are subject to Salix grant timetables.  Requests to participate must be submitted by Friday 11th November 2022 at 14h00, all parties who meet the prerequisites set out in Schedule C of the ITP will then be invited to participate in the process, with no down-selection of qualifying parties. Those qualifying parties will be invited to submit a tender byFriday 18th  November 2022. The ITT, and associated documents required in order to prepare a tender will be available immediately to all parties requesting to participate on receipt of a signed non-disclosure agreement (as described above), prior to the issuing of invitations to tender.
