The pilot will provide loan funding to SMEs to help them to decarbonise by installing measures including heating, lighting, and insulation improvements. The County Council has delivered many successful grant programmes for businesses. This loan programme is a new and innovative approach that will help inform our future strategy to support businesses to decarbonise. Our Greener Futures Finance Strategy was approved by our Cabinet in 2023 and sets out innovative finance measures, including loans, to help deliver our decarbonisation targets. The County Council has secured an initial capital loan fund allocation of PS200k for year 1 (ending 31 March 2025). We anticipate that this will fund circa 20 SME businesses up to a maximum loan of PS15k per business to install decarbonisation measures. Businesses would need to provide 50% match funding towards their investment and loans would be repaid over a period of up to 3 years. We have recently delivered the successful LoCASE grant programme in Surrey, which funded SME businesses with similar decarbonisation measures. This has demonstrated a demand from businesses to decarbonise, the carbon savings and energy savings that it can provide to businesses. We will work with you to bring our skills in marketing funding programmes for businesses and conducting decarbonisation needs assessments to reach our network of the SME businesses. There is a potential for an additional PS400k capital funding, should this year 1 pilot be a success and approval secured from our Capital Programme Panel. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011404-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 May 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | REIGATE | | Post town | Redhill | | Postcode | RH2 8EF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ26 East Surrey | | Local authority | Reigate and Banstead | | Electoral ward | South Park & Woodhatch | | Westminster constituency | Reigate | | Delivery location | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 48812000 - Financial information systems - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services - 79212100 - Financial auditing services - 79412000 - Financial management consultancy services ## Release History - 9 Apr 2024 at 10:03 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/011404-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.surreycc.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
