Net Zero Plan 2035 Consultancy

Description

The University of Sussex is building significant internal capability to address the challenges
of decarbonisation, but this will need to be supplemented by specific technical and
organisational advice in targeted areas, including the built environment, decarbonisation
modelling and energy systems design. The University intends to procure this expertise
through appointing a consultant.
The purpose of this procurement exercise is to select and appoint a Consultant to assist with
the creation of a new Net Zero Pathway (NZP) Report to assist with the University's
commitment to reach Net Zero by 2035. Production of the Net Zero Pathway Report will be
led by the University with consultancy input to contribute technical knowledge to specific
areas.
The University has previously commissioned an NZP which did not provide a clear and
detailed blueprint or road map that could be translated into a credible delivery plan. This new
report therefore needs to set out how the University will reduce its carbon emissions with
clearly defined elements to ensure it operates sustainably, ethically and responsibly
