In March 2021 Cabinet approved submission of a Full Business Case to the Joint Air Quality Unit (JAQU) to implement a Clean Air Zone D (CAZ) for Bristol City Centre. This is expected to be approved by Ministers after recommendation from the JAQU Board during September 2021. The FBC includes funding for the delivery of the CAZ Enabling Technology and Clean Air Fund of £46m for the delivery of mitigation measures.
The Council require an experienced Programme Lead who can ensure delivery and implementation of the programme to be completed and operational by summer 2022.
This decision is to approve ‘calling off’ the Programme Lead from the Strategic Capital Partnership, procured by Bristol City Council in Feb 2021. The ‘call off’ complies with public procurement regulations and demonstrates a value for money route to securing a suitable resource for the role. The resource will be funded from the Exec Director for Growth
