Summary of the contracting process

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority (CPCA) is currently in the tender stage of establishing a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) for the "Local Net Zero Accelerator Pilot - Finance Support Services". This procurement process is designed to support net zero finance initiatives by engaging suppliers with expertise in financial, legal, and procurement consultancy services. Key locations involved are within England, United Kingdom, with the tender period ending on 24th July 2028 and the contract period commencing shortly after, from 25th July 2028 to 31st July 2028. This initiative, classified under financial consultancy services and related sectors, is an excellent opportunity for SMEs, though not specifically targeted at VCSEs, to participate in high-profile programmes supporting public sector innovation in achieving net zero goals.

Through this tender, businesses have the opportunity to align themselves with a forward-thinking public sector initiative aimed at expanding the region's capabilities and expertise in net zero finance initiatives. Companies involved in financial management, energy efficiency, construction consultancy, and similar fields are well-suited for participation. The approach offers promising growth prospects, allowing suppliers to showcase their innovative solutions and form collaborative partnerships with local authorities. Given the flexibility of the DPS framework, diverse sectors such as auditing, tax consultancy, and environmental issues consultancy stand to contribute significantly to shaping large-scale public sector sustainability projects. With an estimated value of £20 million over its lifetime, this procurement presents a substantial business opportunity.
