This initiative is part of the Council's Climate Change Strategy for 2021-2026, which envisions Cambridge achieving net zero carbon by 2030. The awarded contract, valued at £38,200, is classified under the services category related to architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services. The project commenced on 15th October 2021 and concluded on 15th February 2022. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and the details were published on 12th July 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy, engineering services, and construction, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Firms that specialise in sustainability assessments, retrofitting, and energy efficiency improvements would be particularly well-positioned to bid for similar contracts in the future, directly contributing to the city’s ambitious target of reducing carbon emissions in private housing. Engaging in such tenders not only supports environmental initiatives but also positions businesses as leaders in the growing green economy. ## Notice The city of Cambridge has a privately-owned housing stock of around 44,000 properties (including owner occupied and privately rented homes). The private housing stock includes a range of property types, from historic properties in central conservation areas to post-war and modern homes. As part of the Council's recently approved Climate Change Strategy for 2021-2026, we have shared a vision for Cambridge as a city to be net zero carbon by 2030 (subject to Government, industry and regulators implementing the necessary changes to enable the city and the rest of the UK to achieve this). With homes in Cambridge accounting for around 31% of total carbon emissions from the city, decarbonising privately-owned homes in the city will be one of the key elements to achieving this net zero carbon vision. However, we anticipate that considerable investment will be needed to retrofit private homes in the city, as they currently have an average EPC rating of D, and very few properties in the city are close to reaching net zero carbon standards.
