Smarter Energy NEL Phase 2 - Energy Efficiency Consultant/Auditor

North East Lincolnshire Council has been successful in securing UK Shared Prosperity Funding for a 7 months extension to the successful pilot project called 'Smarter Energy North East Lincolnshire'. The project aims to continue to engage with the business community to provide specialist energy advice, audits, workshops, and opportunity for small grants to invest in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The objective now is to establish a one stop shop for energy-focused business support, specifically for SMEs, that was absent from the local energy efficiency and renewable energy market; working with a range of partners and support SME's in understanding how they can reduce energy in the future.

This project follows on from a pilot project, funded by the Community Renewal Fund via North East Lincolnshire Council. North East Lincolnshire Council is the accountable body for programme delivery and is working in partnership with E-Factor as the delivery partner, responsible for procuring and managing the successful energy advice contractor.

We are seeking specialist energy consultants and auditors to work with our business advisors to deliver energy advice services, enable delivery in volume at some speed, and bring in specialist skills as and when required. Thus, we are tendering to appoint 2 suitable contractors to this framework. It should be noted that there is no guarantee of any particular value of work. The total value of the work is £33,000, which will be divided between the appointed contractors.
