The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) replaced the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and provides funding for local investment until 31 March 2025. In Tees Valley (Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees), UKSPF supports local businesses through specialist providers delivering targeted support across different business needs and sectors.
Tees Valley Net Zero (the "project") is delivered by Decerna on behalf of the Tees Valley Combined Authority, the Tees Valley Mayor, and the Tees Valley Business Board.
The project provides practical steps to help businesses reduce costs and save carbon. The project provides access to a wide range of support including self-help guides, energy information sessions, CPD-accredited energy management workshops, free energy assessments and grant funding. A £1M grant fund provides 500 grants of £2,000 each to support net zero investments.
Develop a range of digital collateral to inspire, educate and demonstrate Net Zero to business.
To help achieve the objective to "improve awareness of net zero and how businesses can work towards it", the project requires a range of digital collateral. Decerna Limited seeks quotations from qualified organisations who can provide this, through a series of deliverables set out below. Alternative approaches/deliverables are welcomed.
All digital collateral will need to comply with the project's marketing guidelines, which will made available to the successful organisation.
