Specialist Commercial advice to City Leap
Decision Maker: Executive Director: Growth and Regeneration
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
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.
Decision:
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.
Alternative options considered:
Option 1 -
Not appointing consultants to provide this service
Option 2 -
Option 3 -
