This initiative is part of the North West Net Zero Hub’s efforts to help local authorities across England prepare for Regional Energy Strategic Plans (RESP) in 2025 and develop Local Net Zero Plans by 2028.

The contract was awarded on 26th March 2025, with a contract period running from 31st March 2025 to 31st December 2025. The project will be delivered in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in energy consultancy and strategic planning, particularly those specialising in net zero initiatives.

Businesses that can offer advisory services to support governmental bodies in sustainable energy planning and policy formulation would find similar tenders lucrative for business growth. The targeted support for SMEs in the bidding process also indicates a favourable environment for smaller consultants to engage in significant public sector projects.
