Lot 1: Please contact environment@london.gov.uk to request an Outline Market Engagement Survey which has more detail on the proposed procurement. In summary the GLA expects the 'Zero Carbon Enabler Hub' to meet its aim of helping organisations to decarbonise mainly through Technical Assistance Facility, Project Development and other forms of support. This will help to create and support preparation of active pipelines of decarbonisation projects in public sector bodies including local authorities, GLA functional bodies, as well as members of the London Anchor Institutions Network, social housing and community/cultural institutions. The Hub will continue the work of the existing Low Carbon Accelerators, with a broader and more ambitious scope. To that end the Hub will promote a healthy pipeline of building decarbonisation and local clean energy projects that are suitable for investment through the GLA's Green Finance Fund or other funding mechanisms. The GLA is seeking feedback on this proposed procurement and the Outline Market Engagement Survey is designed to provide an opportunity to inform the approach taken by GLA to deliver on the ambitions of the Mayor in helping decarbonise London.
