US_24078 Net Zero Plan 2035 Consultancy

Descriptions

The University of Sussex is building significant internal capability to address the challenges of decarbonisation, but this will need to be supplemented by specific technical and organisational advice in targeted areas, including the built environment, decarbonisation modelling and energy systems design. The University intends to procure this expertise through appointing a consultant.The purpose of this procurement exercise is to select and appoint a Consultant to assist with the creation of a new Net Zero Pathway (NZP) Report to assist with the University's commitment to reach Net Zero by 2035. Production of the Net Zero Pathway Report will be led by the University with consultancy input to contribute technical knowledge to specific areas.The University has previously commissioned an NZP which did not provide a clear and detailed blueprint or road map that could be translated into a credible delivery plan. This new report therefore needs to set out how the University will reduce its carbon emissions with clearly defined elements to ensure it operates sustainably, ethically and responsibly.
