Decision details

Variation to contract DN528177 to discharge Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Round 3 (PSDS) funding.

Reference: D55237

Decision Maker: Director of Resources

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

The Director of Resources gave authority to spend and approval to vary the contract with Cenergist Ltd to bring into scope additional buildings the Council has secured funding for in the 2022/23 financial year. The variation is in line with the scope of the existing contract.
This significant operational decision is a direct consequence of a key decision (D55165) taken to inject capital for the scheme, details of which can be found at: Council and democracy (leeds.gov.uk) and therefore exempt from call-in.
The primary focus of the PSDS is conversion to low carbon heating systems in buildings, but proposals involving this can also be combined with other energy efficiency measures to reduce electricity consumption such as solar generation and LED lighting. As well as ensuring significant carbon savings, the scheme will provide a stimulus to the energy efficiency and low carbon heat sector, and represents a significant opportunity to create or safeguard local employment.
