This initiative falls under the environmental services category and aims to support local energy project development across the South West of England, specifically through the establishment of Local Energy Hubs. The tender is in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 20th February 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 4th March 2019 and conclude by 30th April 2019, with a total budget allocated of £30,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in consultancy services related to environmental management, business strategy, and energy efficiency. Businesses experienced in research and development, as well as those with expertise in producing guidance materials, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this process not only allows for potential financial growth but also positions participants to contribute to regional energy strategies and best practice sharing within the industry. ## Notice BEIS provided funding in 2018 to support capacity within LEPs and Local Authorities for local energy project development. Five Hub regions were established, covering the geography of England. The structure of this support is a central "Hub" within each region, hosted by one of the regional authorities, which: * acts as Accountable Body for that region's funding; * is the interface between central Government and regional actors, and; * employs staff within the Hub and across the regional geography to deliver the objectives of the programme. This capacity support builds on the funding already allocated to LEPs for energy strategy development. The five Local Energy Hubs support delivery of the priorities identified by the energy strategies by co-ordinating action among various public/private bodies, mobilising investment in energy projects and sharing best practice through knowledge exchange across the five Hub regions. Each of the five Local Energy Hubs is leading on the production of tools and guidance to support energy project development. The West of England Combined Authority, as the Accountable Body for the SW Energy Hub is seeking to develop a high-level, good practice guide to local energy for LEPs and Local Authorities, providing a single reference document to support action Additional information: Please submit all clarifications in writing through this Procurement Portal.
