    Brief

    The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has awarded a contract for specialist legal services to support England's Heat Network Zoning Programme. This contract provides expert legal advice on developing and operating heat network zones and associated procurement frameworks. The work includes two main areas: (1) Heat Network Consents Legal Support - advising on the design, implementation and ongoing operation of heat network zoning consents, including statutory powers, governance, regulatory requirements and legislative compliance; and (2) National Heat Network Connections Framework Legal Support - supporting the development of compliant approaches to heat network connections and supply arrangements, including procurement strategy and application of the Procurement Act 2023. The contract directly supports the UK's transition to low-carbon heating by enabling the expansion of heat networks across England. Suppliers should have expertise in energy law, regulatory frameworks, procurement law, and heat network infrastructure.
