Buyer	DESNZ — not a council we hold
Supplier	Ove Arup & Partners Limited

1.1. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) is using Lot 3.2 from its Heat Network Zoning Framework to commission National Zoning Model Management and Data Analytics services from May 2025 until March 2026. 1.2. Model Management and Data Analytics services are required to support the primary developer of the National Zoning Model. The purpose of the model is to support the identification of heat network zones (HNZs) in a standardised, consistent, efficient, and cost-effective manner. It produces maps and datasets describing the location and scale of indicative heat network zones. The indicative zones produced will be geographical areas where heat networks are expected to be the lowest cost technology to decarbonise heat used in buildings. 1.3. The services required are not typical programme or project management services, but instead are specialist model development services, alongside business analysts, specialist data and GIS support.

Figures are as published An award value in OCDS may be a framework ceiling rather than a sum anyone expects to spend, so a large figure here is not evidence of a large purchase.
