The Development (Stage 1) and Population (Stage 2) of a Project Intelligence Platform to assist the decarbonisation of the North West Industrial Cluster

ECW was formerly known as the Cheshire & Warrington Local Enterprise Partnership (C&W LEP). It is also responsible for promoting Cheshire and Warrington as a great place to visit, live, work, invest and study through Marketing Cheshire, which is an integral part of ECW and is designated by Visit England as the sub-region's Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP).

Following completion of our recent 'Delivery of the North West Industrial Decarbonisation Cluster Plan' workstream, and support to Net Zero North West to establish its new business model, ECW are looking to further support the delivery of industrial decarbonisation alongside Net Zero North West (NZNW) and the North West Net Zero Hub via the creation of a comprehensive data platform (Project Intelligence Platform - PIP).

The Platform is required to enable the industrial decarbonisation cluster to have access to as comprehensive and usable set of data as possible about the industrial decarbonisation projects in the pipeline and ultimately underway/delivered. This will ensure that the cluster can continue to realise the investment required, support the job creation, and carbon reduction goals essential for our regional transition to a low-carbon economy and the platform itself will need to enable the wider partnership to measure and demonstrate progress / success to wider stakeholders such as government and investors.

This procurement exercise is being conducted as a below threshold open tender. The tender documents comprise this ITT document and any other supporting documents. This procurement seeks specialist support from a high-quality supplier to deliver the development (stage 1) and population (stage 2) of a comprehensive Project Intelligence Platform (PIP).

The successful bidder will be required to deliver services in accordance with all tender documents and the contract to be placed with the successful bidder. Tenderers are requested to study the specification in detail and ensure that the specified requirements can be met and thus your understanding of our requirements is reflected in your Pricing Schedule return.

The contract is expected to commence Wednesday 16th January 2025 with the exact dates to be agreed depending on the agreement between the successful provider and ECW.
