## Summary

The North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) is conducting a procurement process for the "Business Development Role Within the Green New Deal Fund (GNDF) in the North Of Tyne," focused on providing essential services aimed at promoting green growth and sustainability in the region. The tender is currently active, with an end date for submissions on 8th October 2021. The procurement follows an open procedure under the legal framework of the CELEX, and the selected partner will be expected to support initiatives related to heat decarbonisation, energy efficiency, and the development of low carbon transport and natural capital.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in consultancy, project management, and sustainability practices, especially those with knowledge of the local business ecosystem in the North of Tyne region. Companies that have experience in identifying investment opportunities in net zero projects, as well as those that can facilitate relationships among stakeholders, would be particularly well-suited to compete for the role of Business Development Partner. By engaging in this process, businesses can leverage potential funding from the £9 million GNDF initiative to stimulate regional economic growth while contributing to environmental sustainability goals.

## Notice

The NTCA has established a Green New Deal Fund ("GNDF") to catalyse investment in green growth. Committing PS9m over the next three years, this fund will form a mechanism to stimulate innovation and business growth in the areas of heat decarbonisation, energy efficiency, renewables, energy systems, low carbon transport and natural capital. The focus of the GNDF is to support the 'green growth economy' by, prioritising projects which can deliver significant carbon reductions as well as supporting new industry and jobs in areas where emissions reductions are most needed. In June 2021, the NTCA announced, under Delegated Decision, the appointment of Amber Fund Management Limited ("AFML"), a sister company of Amber Infrastructure Limited ("Amber") to act as Fund Manager for the GNDF. As part of Amber's expression of interest for the GNDF, Amber proposed to appoint a business development partner to assist with the delivery of the GNDF. A partner with knowledge of the local business ecosystem is required to support the Green New Deal Fund Limited Partnership ("GNDF LP") in a Business Development role ("BD Partner"). The BD Partner must have premises with the ability to host up to a maximum of 1.5 FTE members of the Amber team within the region, as well as meeting space to host local clients. The selected BD Partner will support Amber in a business development and origination capacity and will be required to source, manage and review applications from

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The primary objective of the BD Partner is to support Amber to identify investment opportunities in net zero and low carbon projects within the North of Tyne region. This will include but not be limited to: * Identifying local companies and projects to add to the existing pipeline ranging from commercialisation of new innovative technologies through to the funding of more established low carbon projects; * The development of key themes within the scope of net zero across the North of Tyne region and establishing relationships with key stakeholders that will inform and support the GNDF investment strategy. Organise and manage pipeline targeted events, this could include for example a specific event targeting housing associations or community projects; * Supporting the Fund pipeline to maximise on the Fund outputs, this includes reduction of CO2 and the creation of new green jobs and skills within the region; * Support on the development of research into the local pipeline and contribution towards the development of existing partnerships in the academic and industrial sectors; and * Bringing together different aspects of a local energy stakeholder network and identify various stakeholders including community energy groups that will deliver projects in line with the GNDF requirements of delivering a sustainable low carbon economy, that will create jobs in the local economy and stimulate growth and skills through investment into regional energy initiatives. The BD Partner will not be responsible in a decision-making capacity with all final decisions resting with Amber as the Fund Manager. It is expected that the Business Development role will continue to grow existing NTCA networks and introduce new business opportunities worthy of investment from the GNDF through attending events and networking, hosting open days and horizon scanning of low carbon energy project opportunities, initiating discussions, and responding to incoming leads. The BD Partner should have premises with the ability to host up to a maximum of 1.5 FTE members of the Amber team within the region, as well as meeting space to host local clients to develop these opportunities.

Renewal: Option to extend for 1 x 24 months
