The project requires developing an evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for the district, with a particular emphasis on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 21st October 2024 at 12:00 PM, and the contract period from 1st November 2024 to 24th March 2025.

With Lancaster City Council's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040, participating businesses can leverage their expertise to support this ambitious goal while expanding their portfolio.

Carbon Zero Pathway for Lancaster District

Notice Description

This opportunity can be accessed via the Proactis Platform: https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=cb270287-3a7f-ef11-8130-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Lancaster City Council is delivering a Climate and Nature Strategy for 2025-2030. This will build on the extensive work of the council in meeting the challenges of its climate and ecological emergency declarations. The council is completing work on a Local Area Energy Plan which sets out an evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for energy associated emissions in the district by 2040. To support the development of the Climate and Nature Strategy the council is commissioning a piece of work which provides the greenhouse gas emissions baseline for the district as a whole, sets out the consumption-based emissions for residents, the emissions profile for visitors, GHG footprint by sector, include UK local authority and regional GHG emissions statistics and sets out the decarbonisation pathway and scenario for the district across sectors for a target date of 2040. In relation to the emissions associated with visitors, the council is interested in understanding the increase in visitor emissions associated with Eden Morecambe. 3.3.3. The Climate and Nature Strategy covers the years 2025-2030 and will include the policy and priorities of the council as well as partners. The commission and pathways should reflect this as well as provide actions needed to be taken by partners over the next 5 years in order to reach the net zero 2040 target date. It may also set out potential policy development needed. A dashboard of the pathways should be included which can be updated annually to support the strategy's delivery and monitoring. The findings of the work will be compiled in a final report. This should include a discussion of the quantitative work done, the net zero 2040 pathway, and set out the wider context including the past and ongoing work of the council. The council is interested in understanding the wider environmental and societal impacts of climate action beyond only mitigation of GHG emissions. The report should include qualitative discussion on the wider polycrises around the climate and ecological emergencies.
