Purpose

To align the project structure to better fit
Innovate UK’s procedures and contribute to the achievement of
council and city climate goals

Content

To request from Innovate UK an amendment to
the project to add Living Places as a partner and to transfer
budget of £780k from Bristol City Council to Living Places
Ltd. This replaces the previous arrangement for the work to be
undertaken with Living Places as a contractor to Bristol City
Council. The change request also includes minor amendments to
facilitate Project Partner, the Centre for Sustainable Energy to
make sub-grants to community organisations and some minor movements
of budgets within their overall budget envelope.
This is in line with the decision of Cabinet on 23 January 2024
which authorises the Executive Director Growth and Regeneration to
make any amendments to the project as necessary for successful
delivery.
