Award outcome

Description

The Contracting Authority is interested in securing a Partner to design and deliver energy efficiency, renewable energy generation and storage projects across all of its asset types (schools, office buildings, rural estate,transport assets, waste assets, housing etc), irrespective of whether they are within its administrative boundaries,. The Service Provider may take a consortium approach if it does not have access to all the relevant expertise within its own organisation. The Contracting Authority has experience of working with Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) since 2014.CCC has invested over £21 million in EPCs to date, with pipeline investments totalling a further £56milion. The ambition for this procurement is greater than ever as CCC and other local authorities have declared Climate Emergencies. CCC has published a Climate Change and Environment Strategy including targets for reducing energy consumption of CCC's building stock, replacing heating in CCC owned and operated buildings with low carbon heating by 2025 and reducing indirect emissions by 50.4% by 2030. We need to partner with a team of skilled and imaginative engineers and commercial managers that can develop new business models for projects. That team must be supported by senior managers willing to take risk and bring a culture of innovation and change. The successful contractor must provide a full range of engineering design, project management, construction health & safety, energy market commercial and measurement & verification skills with appropriate qualifications and registrations. Tenders will be required to provide CVs for the project team demonstrating the relevant experience and qualifications. The contractor will be required to provide energy performance contracts for the majority of projects called off under the framework i.e. they will be required to guarantee energy savings/generation and back this up with a Parent Company Guarantee or Performance Bond. In addition to reducing its direct carbon emissions Cambridgeshire County Council is committed to reducing its indirect carbon emissions by 50.4% by 2030relative to a 2018 baseline. The contractor will be required to demonstrate carbon emissions reductions in their operation and supply chain consistent with this trajectory. Where this is not achieved they will be required to offset emissions to compensate for the shortfall.
