Green Heat Expert Support (GHES) Framework

Tender description

The purpose of this ITT is to appoint a single supplier to deliver a Green Heat Expert Support Framework (GHES) Product. We are targeting companies at the early stages of their Green Heat journey and envisage working with a range of company types and sizes from differing sectors, as set out below. This contract is with Scottish Enterprise (SE), Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE). Scottish Enterprise are the lead partner. It is anticipated that the framework will start in early February 2024 for a period of 12 months. The value of the framework is expected to be in the region of between 45,000GBP and 61,500GBP excluding VAT. The GHES project will enable Scottish companies to access one-to-one advice and guidance delivered by subject consultants. The consultants will work with each company to help them address specific needs such as those below: - Understand whether their company capabilities are or could be made transferrable to the Green Heat sector. - Understand the scale and nature of the opportunity from the growth in the Green Heat market. - Gain a realistic overview of the potential benefits of diversifying into Green Heat, in terms of maintaining or increasing turnover, workforce or facilities. The support mechanism will be offered to companies in the SE, HIE and SoSE geographic areas and will consist of three days of free support to enable the consultant to develop a high-level understanding of the company’s current areas of operation, capabilities, and ambitions via discussions. We are looking to appoint a single supplier to work with companies to provide up to three days support. Our Budget is anticipated to provide support for 25 companies. This will be a one-year programme.
