There is an opportunity to join the partnership between South Gloucestershire Council (SCG) and West Sussex County Council (WSCC) to deliver innovation for local authorities across the UK which aims to bring about a fundamental re-think of green estate management. Greenprint is described as 'a carbon-negative systems model for green infrastructure management. It aims to reduce operational emissions and revolutionise the narrative for biomass drawn from councils' estates from 'waste' to 'value'. The partnership will pioneer replicable, circular economy approaches for collecting verge biomass that will reduce the costs and emissions associated with ongoing management, whilst increasing biodiversity. Collected biomass will be processed to generate new sources of clean heat and power, alternative fuels and asphalt additives that will further reduce the cost and emissions from highways operations. 'This 'Greenprint' will demonstrate a sustainable and replicable model for local authorities, transforming the role and value of the highway's green asset, and enable highways, waste and other service functions to work together in synergy to deliver financial, environmental and social value benefits while reducing carbon emissions.' ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2e326a0-534d-47b1-b91a-7a5602fddd9e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Competitive quotation (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 16 Nov 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 23 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2023 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £175,500 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £175,500 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HAMPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | CHICHESTER | | Post town | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO19 1RQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | | Local authority | Chichester | | Electoral ward | Chichester Central | | Westminster constituency | Chichester | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 11 Dec 2023 at 12:03 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2e326a0-534d-47b1-b91a-7a5602fddd9e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a2e326a0-534d-47b1-b91a-7a5602fddd9e 11th December 2023 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
