    Brief

    Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking a Development Partner to establish a long-term Strategic Energy Partnership (SEP) focused on transforming and decarbonising the borough's energy infrastructure. The Development Partner will originate, develop, finance, deliver and operate a portfolio of decarbonisation projects across three asset classes: heat networks, renewable electricity generation and storage, and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The partnership's anchor project is the Heat Network Reference Scheme, which will supply heat to public and private sector organisations including Oldham Council, First Choice Homes Oldham, Oldham College, Royal Oldham Hospital, NHS sites and residential developments. The Council has secured £8.78 million in Green Heat Network Fund (GHNF) grant funding to support this initiative. Beyond the heat network, the Council has identified site-level projects on its assets for the first 5-year Strategic Business Plan, including roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar photovoltaic arrays, solar car ports, and biomass combined heat and power facilities. The Development Partner will leverage its expertise to create innovative solutions that maximise commercial and technological synergies across energy technologies. If projects are approved following the development period, the Council and Development Partner will become shareholders in a Project Company, with the Council retaining a 'Golden Share' allowing control over reserved matters including carbon intensity, reporting and tariffs. The estimated total contract value ranges from £2.2 billion to £3.2 billion (excluding VAT) over the maximum 25-year term, though this is dependent on project deliverability and various commercial factors. The Development Partner must be a single legal entity. Key sub-contractors, partners or consortium members may only work with one bidding supplier. Interested organisations can contact Green Economy at info@greeneconomy.co.uk for networking and collaboration opportunities.
