We are commissioning 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 together for this project. Please indicate if you would like to be considered for programme 1 or programme 2 or both. Please also specify if you would also be interested in delivering these projects in year three. Research suggests that many businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises have not yet made any plans or taken any action to decarbonise their business and that on-going expert support (rather than one-off interventions) will help them to start and progress their decarbonisation journeys. We are commissioning two programmes of support; the two programmes will deliver advice and support to help businesses with 0-100 employees to lower their carbon footprint and reduce costs. Further information is contained in our expression of interest document.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71fb6424-b8e3-41a0-9fcb-03aec29aadce | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Jan 2023 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 Apr 2023 - 1 Apr 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | 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 | WATFORD BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | WATFORD | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD17 3EX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Watford | | Electoral ward | Park | | Westminster constituency | Watford | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 71314300 - Energy-efficiency consultancy services - 90731700 - Carbon dioxide monitoring services ## Release History - 26 Jan 2023 at 13:50 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71fb6424-b8e3-41a0-9fcb-03aec29aadce ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71fb6424-b8e3-41a0-9fcb-03aec29aadce 26th January 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=753067416 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
