The procurement falls under the services category and is open to SMEs and VCSEs. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses with expertise in evaluating community energy projects and local government programmes. Companies offering research and development services, as well as environmental and energy-related consultancy services, are well-suited to compete.

Interested businesses should take note of the tender deadline, procurement method (open procedure), and the specific focus on environmental and energy services. ## Notice The Midlands Net Zero Hub (previously Energy Hub) is seeking consultants with a strong knowledge and experience of evaluating Community Energy projects and local government programmes to provide an independent evaluation of the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) programme delivered by the Midlands Net Zero Hub. The evaluation will review governance and delivery of the programme alongside enabling activities to engage communities and the resulting pipeline of low carbon projects. The study will explore the opportunities, challenges and regional circumstances encountered within the Hub area to provide a nuanced understanding of impact. Funding for this evaluation has been provided by the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). BEIS will be a recipient of the final outputs, along with the Net Zero Hub's Management Board, and findings will be used to inform future programme priorities and direction. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5fec935e-e63f-4c5d-8122-4af38e4d35f5 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | 10 Oct 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Oct 2022 - 28 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £30,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MIDLANDS NET ZERO HUB | | Locality | NOTTINGHAM | | Post town | Nottingham | | Postcode | NG2 3NG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF14 Nottingham | | Local authority | Nottingham | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Nottingham East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71313000 - Environmental engineering consultancy services - 71314000 - Energy and related services - 71620000 - Analysis services - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 15 Sep 2022 at 15:37 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5fec935e-e63f-4c5d-8122-4af38e4d35f5 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5fec935e-e63f-4c5d-8122-4af38e4d35f5 15th September 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a41e84e8-0835-ed11-8119-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
