This initiative seeks to engage a specialist energy consultant or auditor to assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with energy efficiency audits and advice. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with the closing date for submissions set for 5pm on 10th January 2022. The contract is valued at £37,000 and covers services aimed specifically at enhancing energy efficiency within the region, reflecting the classification of energy-efficiency consultancy services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in energy consultancy, particularly those focused on environmental sustainability and efficiency.

Additionally, businesses looking to foster relationships with local government initiatives aimed at achieving carbon reduction and energy savings could leverage this contract to enhance their market presence and contribute to community-oriented projects. ## Notice North East Lincolnshire has been successful in securing Community Renewal Funding (CRF) for a 7-month pilot project called 'Smarter Energy North East Lincolnshire'. The project aims to engage with the business community to provide specialist energy advice, audits, workshops, and opportunity for small grants to invest in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The aim is to pilot establishing a one stop shop for energy-focused business support, specifically for SMEs, that is currently absent from the local energy efficiency and renewable energy market; working with a range of partners and support SME's in understanding how they can reduce energy in the future. The pilot project will be evaluated to inform a future multi agency offer to support SME's in NEL in their journey to zero carbon. North East Lincolnshire Council is the accountable body for programme delivery and is working in partnership with E-Factor as the delivery partner, responsible for procuring and managing the successful energy advice provider. SERVICES REQUIRED E-Factor are seeking to engage the services of a specialist energy consultant and auditor to work with our business advisors to deliver energy advice services to Small Medium Enterprises (SME's) in North East Lincolnshire as part of the Smarter Energy North East Lincolnshire pilot project.
