What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionWe are posting this notice on behalf of the Exhibition Road Cultural Group. They are looking for experienced sustainability consultants to conduct a piece of work that will help our neighbourhood in Kensington to decarbonise heat and energy.
The 22 Exhibition Road Cultural Group organisations are working together to become a zero emissions, nature positive neighbourhood through the South Ken ZEN+ programme. To reach our ambitious goals, we need to explore transformational opportunities for low carbon/zero carbon energy sources, projects and funding across the neighbourhood. This could include heat networks and other shared solutions, or individual solutions, to energy generation.
The Exhibition Road Cultural Group is inviting tenders to support the members in a neighbourhood approach to decarbonising heat and energy with a focus on accessing further funding and exploring opportunities by:
o Mapping and collating existing funding and project opportunities
o Establishing a baseline of energy and heat demand across the members
o Collating a systems inventory across members with coordinated timelines.
Please note this is not a V&A contract or procurement process. We are posting this notice to help the ERCG reach a wide range of providers.
