[More contracts for small businesses and VCSEs](https://tendernation.io/opportunities/for-small-businesses) ## About this tender The Heat Network Delivery Unit (HNDU), part of Business Energy & Industry Strategy (BEIS), is looking for a contractor(s) to deliver a series of topical workshops, conferences and training courses (collectively known as ‘events’ hereafter) for, but not limited to, local authorities, investors, consultants and BEIS internal staff as required on heat network development and delivery. These events need to be delivered regionally across locations in England and Wales and cover the full range of heat network topics, which includes both technical and commercial aspects of heat network development. Although we anticipate the need for sector specialists for specific events, we require the contractor(s) to evidence knowledge and experience of the heat network sector. This will enable the contractor(s) to organise relevant events as soon as the contract is awarded; have the ability to deliver generic heat network topic areas; be able to engage sufficiently with the market and tap into their own connections; and ensure messaging is in line with current policy whilst requiring minimal HNDU resource. The number of events will be demand led and based on HNDU’s requirements; however we anticipate roughly one event per month for the duration of the 24 Month contract. We will discuss events over the contract period, but the contractor(s) must be able to deliver events at short notice if an urgent need to communicate to the sector is required. ### Additional information: How to Apply If you wish to take part in this procurement please see the Tender documents attached to this Notice and send your completed Proposal to Marc Wormald at address stipulated in the “Who to Contact” section.
