This tender is part of the Great Grid Upgrade project aiming to transition the UK to clean energy. National Grid is seeking partners specialised in carbon reduction and biodiversity enhancement to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Key targets include reaching carbon-neutral construction by 2026. The current regulatory period requires a 10% Net Gain in Environmental Value, making biodiversity net gain mandatory for construction projects. Interested organisations must contact Global Procurement by specified deadlines to participate. This tender by National Grid Electricity Transmission PLC presents an opportunity for businesses focused on environmental services to contribute to sustainable practices and drive innovation in carbon reduction and biodiversity enhancement. Companies with expertise in carbon offsetting, nature-based solutions, and climate and biodiversity outcomes are well-suited to compete. By collaborating with National Grid on this tender, businesses can align with sustainable development goals and contribute to achieving ambitious environmental targets within the energy sector. ## Notice To achieve The Great Grid Upgrade - the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations, in support of the UK's switch to clean energy - National Grid Electricity Transmission "NGET" has set ambitious environmental targets to ensure these works are done so sustainably. One such target is to reach net zero by the year 2050, with interim goals such as reaching carbon neutral construction activities by the year 2026. NGET is taking a multi-disciplinary and innovative approach to lowering emissions across our portfolio of assets and activities. One such technique is using carbon compensatory measures to aid the offsetting of residual emissions. NGET is seeking to partner with organisations/projects that specialise in carbon reduction and/or removal schemes that deliver co-benefits for places and lives around them. These organisations must demonstrate integrity and accountability in managing schemes that deliver reliable carbon offsetting services. Through these collaborative partnerships, NGET will compensate for the residual emissions that cannot be mitigated in the short term. These works will involve working across multiple organisations, and through differing scheme types. Within the current regulatory period (T2) Environmental Action Plan, NGET also has a commitment to deliver 10% Net Gain in Environmental Value (Including Biodiversity) on all construction schemes - The Biodiversity element of this commitment (BNG) became mandatory in Feb 2024 for all construction schemes under the Town & Country Planning Act, and to meet these requirements NGET will require the procurement of formal offsite BNG units from registered providers. In addition, to support delivery of non-mandatory net gain commitments, we want to establish a framework of organisations that can deliver nature-based solutions, biodiversity enhancements (including marine environments), and wider climate, biodiversity, and community outcomes. ### Lot Information Lot 1 NGET will be running the pre-qualification questionnaire "PQQ" process via email. Interested Organisations should contact the Global Procurement by email provided in this notice, no later than 29th Jul 2024. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019708-2024 | | 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, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jun 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Feb 2025 | | 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 | NATIONAL GRID ELECTRICITY TRANSMISSION PLC | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC2N 5EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 24 - Chemical products - 45 - Construction work - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 24112100 - Carbon dioxide - 24311800 - Carbon - 45262640 - Environmental improvement works - 90700000 - Environmental services ## Release History - 27 Jun 2024 at 14:55 - TenderUpdate - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019708-2024 - 24 Jun 2024 at 16:02 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019350-2024 ## Notice URLs - http://www.nationalgrid.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
