Business Support Services

Notice Description

Through the Sector Support Fund, Kent County Council is looking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced consultancy to undertake an in-depth analysis of the supply chain for the energy and Low Carbon Environmental Goods and Services (LCEGS) sectors to support clean growth and green recovery in the South East Local Enterprise Partnership (SELEP) area. This work builds on the now out of date analysis of the LCEGS Sector undertaken by the Council in 2012, which helped to shape the design of, and add value to, EU funded projects delivered across the SELEP area and provided the evidence base for regional growth in this emerging sector. Achieving positive economic impact and change is an overarching objective of the work of SELEP. Through this work, companies will be identified throughout the energy and LCEGS supply chain and be engaged to help inform and pilot a 'Clean Growth' Programme which will seek to identify and overcome significant barriers and challenges currently restricting economic growth and innovation in key opportunity areas in the sector, such as offshore renewables, green Hydrogen and nuclear. This will enable a comprehensive and up-to-date Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to be created and used to deliver a targeted programme of interventions to support growth in this sector. In order to submit your interest in this opportunity, please select the 'Login and Express an Interest' on the Kent Business Portal. Please note: If you have not registered on the portal before, in order to successfully submit your interest, you will first need to register for an account. After registration is complete and you have received your login details, you should return to the advert for the opportunity and express your interest. Once you have expressed an interest, you will be emailed an invitation to submit a tender. Tenders must be received by 12 noon on the 18th September 2020. Please direct all questions and communications through the Kent Business Portal via the Discussion facility.
