This open procedure targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and focuses on the development of a Climate and Nature Strategy for 2025-2030, building upon the Council's extensive work in addressing climate and ecological emergencies. The project requires developing an evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for the district, with a particular emphasis on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 21st October 2024 at 12:00 PM, and the contract period from 1st November 2024 to 24th March 2025. The overall budget for this tender is between £34,000 and £42,000 GBP. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in environmental consultancy, energy planning, and sustainability. Companies focusing on climate strategy, emissions analysis, and policy development are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With Lancaster City Council's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040, participating businesses can leverage their expertise to support this ambitious goal while expanding their portfolio. The project's broad scope, including the development of a regularly updated dashboard and qualitative analysis of climate action impacts, allows for extensive engagement, innovation, and potential future collaborations with the Council and its partners. ## Notice This opportunity can be accessed via the Proactis Platform: https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=cb270287-3a7f-ef11-8130-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Lancaster City Council is delivering a Climate and Nature Strategy for 2025-2030. This will build on the extensive work of the council in meeting the challenges of its climate and ecological emergency declarations. The council is completing work on a Local Area Energy Plan which sets out an evidence-based decarbonisation pathway for energy associated emissions in the district by 2040. To support the development of the Climate and Nature Strategy the council is commissioning a piece of work which provides the greenhouse gas emissions baseline for the district as a whole, sets out the consumption-based emissions for residents, the emissions profile for visitors, GHG footprint by sector, include UK local authority and regional GHG emissions statistics and sets out the decarbonisation pathway and scenario for the district across sectors for a target date of 2040. In relation to the emissions associated with visitors, the council is interested in understanding the increase in visitor emissions associated with Eden Morecambe. 3.3.3. The Climate and Nature Strategy covers the years 2025-2030 and will include the policy and priorities of the council as well as partners. The commission and pathways should reflect this as well as provide actions needed to be taken by partners over the next 5 years in order to reach the net zero 2040 target date. It may also set out potential policy development needed. A dashboard of the pathways should be included which can be updated annually to support the strategy's delivery and monitoring. The findings of the work will be compiled in a final report. This should include a discussion of the quantitative work done, the net zero 2040 pathway, and set out the wider context including the past and ongoing work of the council. The council is interested in understanding the wider environmental and societal impacts of climate action beyond only mitigation of GHG emissions. The report should include qualitative discussion on the wider polycrises around the climate and ecological emergencies. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d58bc77-b812-4e5d-a44e-b0b3c7a7a61a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 21 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2024 - 24 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £38,000 | | 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 | LANCASTER CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LANCASTER | | Post town | Lancaster | | Postcode | LA1 1PJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD44 Lancaster and Wyre | | Local authority | Lancaster | | Electoral ward | Castle | | Westminster constituency | Lancaster and Wyre | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 90000000 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ## Release History - 4 Oct 2024 at 13:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d58bc77-b812-4e5d-a44e-b0b3c7a7a61a - 1 Oct 2024 at 10:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a71dd89-40d4-47d4-967b-231f63736eae - 30 Sep 2024 at 14:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/397c3a6b-f1dc-4023-896a-68e8c169f37e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/7d58bc77-b812-4e5d-a44e-b0b3c7a7a61a 4th October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2a71dd89-40d4-47d4-967b-231f63736eae 1st October 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/397c3a6b-f1dc-4023-896a-68e8c169f37e 30th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.lancaster.gov.uk/ - https://procontract.due-north.com/Procurer/Advert/View?advertId=cb270287-3a7f-ef11-8130-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
