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\.
