Decision details

City Leap is a key project being undertaken by the council to enable it to respond to the Climate Emergency declared by the council in November 2018 and the subsequent adoption of the ambition of Bristol being a carbon neutral city by 2030.
To support the council in its delivery against this ambition, City Leap aims to deliver at least £1bn of investment in Bristol’s energy system over the next 10 years, delivering a cleaner, greener, healthier city for the benefit of all its residents and businesses.
There is a requirement for highly specialised commercial advisory services, including directly relevant energy sector-specific knowledge and experience, to support a successful conclusion to the ongoing City Leap procurement exercise for a Strategic Partner, who will bring very substantial investment and delivery capability to enable the aim of £1bn of investment in the city’s energy system to be achieved.

Appointment of specialist consultants to provide commercial advice and expertise in order to support a number of deliverables linked to refining and improving the presentation of City Leap’s business case, target operating model and commercial strategies to potential Strategic Partners as part of the City Leap procurement exercise.
