This initiative aims to engage a qualified supplier or consultant to formulate an evidence-based roadmap for achieving carbon neutrality by 2030 for the Council and by 2040 for the borough. The tender process, designated as an open procedure, is currently in the planning stage, with a submission deadline on 24th August 2020. The service category for this procurement is classified under technical analysis or consultancy services, and the delivery is to be executed in London, with a contract period from 1st September 2020 to 1st February 2021. This tender presents substantial opportunities for firms specialising in environmental consultancy, particularly those with experience in climate change strategies and sustainability initiatives. Businesses that develop evidence-based models for carbon neutrality or implement transformational climate interventions would be ideally positioned to compete effectively. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, thus fostering inclusive growth within the procurement process. ## Notice The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council (referred to as RBKC, the Council or the "Authority") has issued this request for a quotation ('RFQ') 'The Route to Carbon Neutral and Development of RBKC Climate Emergency Action Plan/Vision Carbon Zero' with the aim to commission an experienced supplier/consultant (a single firm or a consortium headed by a single practice acting as lead consultant) to create an evidence based road map and model pathways to carbon neutrality (for both the Council as an organisation by 2030 and for the borough by 2040). This will underpin the development of a new comprehensive Climate Emergency Action Plan and support with shaping the Vision Carbon Zero in response to RBKC' climate emergency declaration. The study will help the Council understand what needs to happen: from the pace of change/scale of intervention and major transformations required to achieve the carbon neutral targets; the financial implications/level of investment; the type of climate change interventions and different scenarios; the priority actions that bring co-benefits for the community and the wider environmental sustainability ambitions; and whether we can accelerate climate action as part of recovery from COVID19.
