Description

The Council is looking to create a Framework of up to 12 Environmental Consultants who will deliver Energy Audits to SMEs across the Sheffield City Region (SCR comprising of Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham)) as part of our Low Carbon project. This is a Framework Agreement as defined by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 that enables the Council to call off their requirements as and when required. The Council does not guarantee volumes of business or accept any liability for the value of business placed with a supplier(s) through the Framework Agreement. It is envisaged the Framework Agreement will be in place from October 2021 until June 2023 and the maximum contract value for the entire Framework will be £221,000.
Providers will be appointed to the Framework Agreement based on the scoring methodology set out in the Invitation to Tender document. A fixed daily rate will be agreed for each Provider as part of this process.

The project will provide business support for c260 SMEs across the four Local Authority areas in the City Region helping to identify, fund and implement Low Carbon improvements within eligible businesses. SMEs receiving support will be helped to tackle barriers to the introduction of efficiency measures/technologies that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. The Environmental Consultants will be required to deliver up to 260 Energy / Carbon Audits identifying measures SMEs can undertake to reduce their carbon footprint.

The project is part-funded by the England European Regional Development Fund as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020.
