## Summary

Portsmouth City Council is seeking consultancy services in the field of industrial decarbonisation and low carbon strategy through the "Lower Carbon Industrial Strategy and Partnership Growth Support" tender. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 17:00 BST on 15th August 2025. This opportunity falls under the business and management consultancy services category, specifically targeting environmental issues, with activities to be carried out in the UKJ region of the United Kingdom. The contract will commence in September 2025 and is set to conclude by March 2026, with a budget of £50,000 allocated. The Council requires proposals from a single named consultant who can commit 2.5 to 3 days per week. Interested parties can submit their tenders electronically, and all inquiries must be finalized by 30th July 2025.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for consultancies specialising in low-carbon energy and industrial strategy, particularly those adept at stakeholder engagement and partnership development. The requirement for proven expertise in the sector, coupled with a collaborative and flexible work approach, highlights a preference for businesses familiar with the nuances of industrial decarbonisation. Further, firms with robust government connections and the capability to bring new partners onboard will find this tender particularly appealing. This could be an especially advantageous opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) registered with In-Tend, looking to enhance their portfolio and broaden their client base by aligning with Portsmouth City Council's sustainability goals.

## Notice

The Solent Cluster is seeking suitably qualified and experienced consultancy services to provide lower carbon industrial strategy policy support, and stakeholder engagement to deliver paid Partnership growth. The Solent Cluster is looking for a single named resource rather than services provided by a range of consultancy resources. We anticipate that the role will need to commit 2.5 / 3 days per week to the service, and proposals are invited on this basis. The contract will initially run from September 2025 to March 2026 (inclusive), with any extension subject to performance and budget availability. A budget ceiling of PS50,000 (excluding VAT) is available for this work. This will include all costs associated with the specified work. For any proposals that exceed this amount the Council reserves the right to set aside and not evaluate further. The Accountable Body for The Solent Cluster is Portsmouth City Council (PCC). As such the contract for services will be between the successful consultancy and Portsmouth City Council and will be subject to PCC's standard Terms and Conditions. All prospective bidders must be registered with In-Tend. The successful consultant will need to demonstrate an understanding of the Solent's low carbon energy sector and industrial decarbonisation cluster and be adept at stakeholder engagement.
