Councillor Rowan Ree introduced the report seeking to approve the proposed procurement strategy to allow the Council to award contract for the supply and installation of decarbonisation measures at H&F non-domestic sites. It was a response to the Council’s commitment to become a net-zero borough by 2030.

The Leader added that the current heatwave was seeing temperatures reaching 40 degrees around the country, which was evidence that climate change was an undeniable reality.

Councillor Wesley Harcourt stated that this report was about the procurement strategy for the Council’s application to the Government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) for future projects. It was one of the phases of the process of decarbonisation of buildings to become a net-zero borough by 2030. Further phases would be subject to consultation with the resident-led Climate Strategy Implementation Group, schools, and voluntary sectors.

AGREED UNANIMOUSLY BY THE CABINET MEMBERS:

That Cabinet approves the proposed procurement strategy to access the REFIT framework via a mini-competition which would allow the Council to award contract for the supply and installation of decarbonisation measures at H&F non-domestic sites (in the region of 39 proprieties) for a contract value of up to £8m.
