Description

The Framework Agreement period is four (4) years from 11th June 2024 to 10th June 2028. The awarded Service Provider's bidding model was as a single supplier with fourteen (14) specialist sub-contractors. Out of fourteen sub-contracts a total of eight (8) classify themselves as SMEs which will help the delivery of wider social value benefits whilst meeting the GLA's aim to ensure a proportion of contracts value will go to SMEs. This four-year single-supplier Framework Agreement was set up to accelerate London's decarbonisation activities. This new support service, currently with the working title of 'Zero Carbon Accelerator (ZCA)', will be central to the GLA's aim to collaborate with organisations to help them achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
