One the world's largest publicly listed utilities, to achieve The Great Grid Upgrade - the largest overhaul of the electricity grid in generations in support of the UK's switch to clean energy - National Grid Electricity Transmission Plc (NGET) - - has set ambitious environmental targets.
to ensure these works are done so sustainably.
These include reaching net zero by 2050, with interim goals such as reaching carbon neutral construction activities by the year 2026.
NGET is taking a multi-disciplinary and innovative approach to lowering emissions across its portfolio of assets and activities - one such technique is using carbon compensatory measures to aid the offsetting of residual emissions.
NGET is now seeking to partner with organisations/projects that specialise in carbon reduction and/or removal schemes – via these collaborative partnerships, NGET said it will compensate for the residual emissions that cannot be mitigated in the short term.
Within the current regulatory period (T2) Environmental Action Plan, NGET also has a commitment to deliver 10% Net Gain in Environmental Value (Including Biodiversity) on all construction schemes. The Biodiversity element of this commitment (BNG) became mandatory in Feb 2024 for all construction schemes under the Town & Country Planning Act - to meet these requirements NGET will require the procurement of formal offsite BNG units from registered providers.
To support the delivery of non-mandatory net gain commitments, NGET also wants to establish a framework of organisations that can deliver nature-based solutions, biodiversity enhancements (including marine environments), and wider climate, biodiversity, and community outcomes.
NGET has issued a Prior Information Notice inviting interested organisations to complete the pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) process via email. Interested Organisations should contact Global Procurement
