This initiative, classified under Research and Development Consultancy Services, aims to address climate change by promoting energy efficiency in homes, aligning with legally binding net zero carbon targets by 2050. The tender, currently in the planning stage, is open for submissions until 14 November 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 2 December 2019 and run until 29 May 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure, applicable below threshold regulations, and the project serves addresses throughout Worcester, WR5 2NP, and other locations listed in the delivery addresses section. This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs), to engage in consultancy services focused on energy efficiency and policy development. Companies providing energy-efficiency consultancy, research, or associated business services are well-positioned to compete for this tender, which supports local and national strategies aimed at reducing carbon emissions and enhancing sustainable practices. By participating, firms can not only contribute to environmental goals but also expand their client base and enhance their portfolio within the public sector. ## Notice Parliament has declared a Climate Emergency and amendments to the Climate Change Act have set legally binding targets for net zero carbon to be achieved by 2050 Improvements to the thermal energy efficiency and consideration of how our homes are powered will be key to achieving the net zero carbon targets. Following a recent consultation BEIS found 30% of respondents referred to a council tax incentive to drive the take up of energy efficiency measures in the home. 88% of respondents supported an approach based on small scale pilots. This project will design a pilot that could test the feasibility of a council tax incentive scheme. The project will identify potential options for a cost neutral incentives programme to encourage the take up of energy efficiency measure to support the aims of the Worcestershire Energy Strategy to be net zero carbon by 2040. A smaller proportion of this work will look at the potential for business rates incentives to encourage take up of energy efficiency measures in the industrial and commercial sector and reduce energy demand and carbon emission.
