Description

The South West Local Net Zero Hub (previously Local Energy Hub) is seeking evaluation consultants with a strong knowledge of the energy sector and local government to provide an independent evaluation of the Local Net Zero Hub Programme.
The evaluation will review delivery of the programme, its enabling activities to engage local government, business and communities and its pipeline of strategic energy projects, as well as exploring some of the opportunities, challenges and regional circumstances of each Hub to provide a nuanced understanding of impact.
The report will also make recommendations for how to best approach certain methodologies in a standardised and comparable way moving forward. These recommendations will be based on findings from the evaluation and consultation with key stakeholders, including BEIS and the Hub's management board and governance structures, as well as learnings shared from the other Hub evaluations.
Funding for this evaluation has been provided by the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). BEIS will be a recipient of the final outputs, along with the South West Hub Management Board, and findings will be used to inform future programme priorities and direction.
The successful provider will be required to coordinate and collaborate with other suppliers across all five Hub areas to agree a common approach and ensure a level of consistency.
