The Council is committed to reducing its carbon emissions and the renewable energy solutions covered within this contract are one way in which the Council is reducing its emissions. As a result of this, the quantities involved within this contract may increase over the coming years if the Council seeks to utilise more renewable energy, heating and hot water systems to support carbon reduction/net zero targets, although the Council cannot guarantee that there will be any sort of increase at the time of tender. It may also be possible that the Council receives additional funding, or an increase in budget, that will allow for an increase in service provision / units / or equivalent supplied through this Contract. Where additional funding / budget becomes available, regardless of its source, the Council may request the successful Contractor to increase or enhance the service being provided. Examples include: - An increase in the number of renewable energy, heating and / or hot water systems to be serviced, maintained, and / or installed through this Contract. - Additional staffing resources, equipment or systems where relevant. Please note that the Council cannot guarantee that there will be any increase or that any of the detail contained within this section will come to fruition."
