This partnership is intended to support Bristol's carbon neutrality targets and facilitate similar services for other public entities in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is governed by the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. Interested parties are required to submit a completed Selection Questionnaire by 25 September 2020, following the publication of the questionnaire expected on or around 3 August 2020. This procurement represents an opportunity for businesses involved in low-carbon energy solutions, corporate finance, and venture capital services. Companies that specialise in energy project development, construction, and financing, particularly those with experience in collaborative public partnerships, will be particularly suited to compete for this substantial contract valued at £12 billion. Additionally, this project may invite further opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate their capacity to contribute effectively to Bristol's ambitious energy goals. ## Notice Bristol City Council is seeking to appoint a Strategic Partner to form a long term corporate joint venture with the Council, the City Leap Energy Partnership, to provide and secure low-carbon energy-related investment and expertise to deliver City Leap's Strategic Objectives. The City Leap Energy Partnership will provide opportunities for the development, construction, and financing of low-carbon energy-related projects and delivery of associated services to assist with meeting Bristol's carbon neutrality targets. It will also afford the opportunity to provide certain services (detailed below) to other public bodies in the South West region. The procurement will be governed by Concession Contracts Regulations 2016 (including any amendments/variations /transitional provisions that apply to this procurement). Interested economic operators are invited to register their interest by completing and returning the Selection Questionnaire, which will be made available on ProContract under project DN484211 on or around the week commencing 03 August 2020.
