Notice Title

The Provision of Financial Services relating to the Council's Model for Climate Investment

Notice Description

Provision of external financial services to help develop climate financial models.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council is exploring ways of taking forward its ambitions around heat decarbonisation (as identified in the Council's Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES) and net-carbon zero projects in both its own area and the wider Glasgow city region. The approximate value for the City Centre and South Zone (as detailed in the LHEES) is anticipated to be in the region of GBP1bn (based on costs of works already completed for heat networks around the city). The Council is also planning complementary work on related climate and sustainability projects to help fulfil the Council's key net-zero policy objectives. In order to meet the city's targets and address the climate emergency, Glasgow needs to take a strategic approach to deliver, control and manage investment in this area. This will involve investigating and implementing viable and appropriate business models, projects for development, and investment opportunities. In March 2024 the Council approved resources and funding for the Council to identify and develop delivery and investment vehicles that will unlock private investment into the city and deliver key net zero projects. The Council's team, established to deliver this programme, is now seeking external financial advisors to support its work.

The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (\"the Regulations\"). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so."
