1.Background
1.1. As part of the Government Greening Agenda, we need to decarbonise the South
Mimms site which has a current carbon footprint of 5,000 tonnes.

Sustainability Ambition number 1 which states; achieve a net zero building estate by
2030.
1.3. MHRA commissioned a Heat Decarbonisation Plan that looked at various options to
reduce the South Mimms site's carbon footprint and establish how well these options
fitted with the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) grant application.
1.4. As part of the grant application development, considerable work was carried out to
identify the best option for the South Mimms site and to fit it with the grant
requirements.
1.5. Work is now required to bring on Professional Services to support the development of
the final design (to be approved by the Agency's Decarbonisation Board) and support
its implementation including building control and project management to be completed
by end of March 2028.
