## Summary

LocatED Property Limited, acting on behalf of the Secretary of State for Education, manages the Net Zero Accelerator Pathfinder Programme in England. This procurement process, classified under CPV code 71314000 for "Energy and related services," involves the development and delivery of decarbonisation interventions for two 25-school lots. The programme’s primary objective is to create a detailed decarbonisation plan and implement behavioural change initiatives, optimising controls and energy procurement, and collecting data from participating schools. The initial phase (Basket 1) must be completed by March 2025, with the procurement method being an open procedure above the threshold. The contracts, which commenced on 21 October 2024, will run until 20 October 2025.

Firms experienced in developing and implementing decarbonisation plans, installing advanced control systems, and managing large-scale data collection will find this project particularly suited to their capabilities. The partnership requires extensive collaboration with schools and the Department for Education’s commercial team, making it ideal for organisations capable of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects aimed at energy optimisation and sustainability in the educational sector.
