Notice Title

Development of the North Lanarkshire Council Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) and Delivery Plan

Notice Description

In 2021 the Scottish Government's consultation 'Draft Heat in Buildings Strategy: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in Scotland's Buildings' described Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (LHEES) as the essential vehicle for the transition to decarbonised heat by linking the pathway to net-zero, place, people, investment and energy networks. The purpose of LHEES is to provide 'a framework for taking an area-based approach to heat and energy efficiency planning and delivery' and aims to: -set out how each segment of the building stock needs to change to meet national objectives, including achieving zero greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector, and the removal of poor energy efficiency as a driver of fuel poverty; -identify heat decarbonisation zones, and setting out the primary measures for reducing emissions within each zone, with a view to zones acting as a potential trigger for regulation in the future if required; and -prioritise areas for delivery, against national and local priorities. The methodology for developing a LHEES was issued to local authority contacts Autumn 2021 with the final guidance issued in October 2022. Under the Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategies (Scotland) Order 2022. North Lanarkshire Council (the Council) is therefore seeking to appoint a consultant (Contractor) via this procurement procedure to ensure the legal obligation to prepare and implement a LHEES and a Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Delivery Plan (LHEEDP) for North Lanarkshire by 31 December 2023.
