Purpose

This report sets out a proposed approach for the commissioning
of a third-party consultant to deliver the technical arm of the SME
Net Zero Accelerator programme, funded through the UK Shared
Prosperity Fund Local Business open call.
 
The consultant will provide technical support to 125 businesses
across Camden and Brent to highlight opportunities for businesses
to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings and monitor
emissions reduction progress. Approximately £365,000 is
available to deliver these services to help reduce commercial
emissions in Camden and support the 2030 borough-wide net zero
target.
 
The consultant will provide technical support, which includes an
energy audit, recommendation report to net zero, building
walk-through and 1:1 support to aid business understanding of the
report outcomes.
 
In a separate tender process, a second consultant will be
appointed through an open quote process to provide businesses with
an interactive dashboard to capture carbon emissions reduction
progress, linked to the audit and report provided by consultant
one.  The value of this contract is approximately
£70,000 and in addition to the £365,000. The two
consultants will be required to work closely to deliver the
programme.
