## Summary

The Manchester City Council is currently seeking proposals for the "Q20409 - The Provision of Services for Zero Carbon Cities Project".

The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 11am on Friday, 4th September 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 21st September 2020 and will run until 31st July 2022, with a total contract value set at £32,000.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy and project management, especially those focused on climate change action plans.

## Notice

The City of Manchester has been successful in a bid for the 2nd phase of the URBACT Action Planning network Zero Carbon Cities (ZCC). This programme will work with 6 other cities over a 2 year period to help them use science-based targets and Zero Carbon and Climate Action Plans, in order to contribute to the successful delivery of the Paris Agreement. As part of this work we are looking for a partner to develop and deliver local activity to support Manchester's role in the network, providing additional capacity and expertise to the project co-ordination team. Manchester City Council has considerable experience in project and programme management, but needs to bring in an individual or organisation who can provide capacity around applying science-based targets and developing climate change action plans in a city context. Additional information: The Council is using the e-business portal known as the Chest. Applicants will need to register their details at the following link www.the-chest.org.uk. Applicants will need to electronically submit their completed tender documents, including online questionnaire, via the on-line portal by 11am on Friday 4th September 2020.
