Net Zero Plan 2035 Consultancy
Authority: University of Sussex (Education)·Consortium: 3 public authorities
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe 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

The University's commitment is to reach Net Zero by 2035, using the Science Based Target Initiatives methodology. This means that carbon emissions must be reduced by more than 90% across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. The aim of this tender exercise is to procure expert advice and consultancy services that will contribute to a new Net Zero Strategic Pathway Report, which in turn will form a key pillar of all future decarbonisation activity at the University.
The overall outputs of the consultancy period and strategy creation process, is to provide a thorough, actionable and unambiguous pathway to Net Zero. It is intended that the need for further surveys and planning will be minimised.
