Allocating the use of the Climate Reserve – Contract award (signing) to WSP UK Ltd. to produce a Herefordshire Retrofit Strategy and options appraisal.–
At the Full Council meeting on 14 Feb 2020 a
new dedicated climate reserve was established to resource and
accelerate action to address the climate emergency.
Over one-third of Herefordshire’s greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions are estimated to be from heating homes and other
buildings, the development of a new building retrofit strategy and
options appraisal to scope potential action plans is needed to
decarbonise buildings across Herefordshire if we are to reach the
county’s zero carbon target by 2030.
As the estimated value of the works necessary to do this is likely
to exceed £300 million it is essential that Herefordshire
seeks innovative new solutions and leverages external funding
opportunities to deliver this enormous challenge and economic
opportunity.
A fully compliant tender exercise in conjunction with the
council’s commercial services team has taken place, from
which WSP UK Ltd were the preferred supplier to undertake the
work.
