RTÉ is set to spend €75,000 on environmental consultancy services in a bid to strengthen its compliance as a public body with decarbonisation strategy.
A notice posted on procurement platform, eTenders states that RTÉ is seeking applications from suitably qualified consultancies to provide “expert services in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting, energy management, and environmental certification”.
As a public body, the national broadcaster is required to achieve a 51 percent reduction in energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a 50 percent improvement in energy efficiency by 2030.
“It is up to each individual organisation to determine how the targets can be best achieved,” the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) advises.
It is in an effort to meet its climate obligations that RTÉ is looking to strengthen its environmental “governance, compliance, and reporting processes” under the frameworks to which it is party, including the SEAI’s monitoring and reporting framework.
The contract is worth an estimated €75,000 over five years. The term of any contract awarded will be an initial three years, with the option to extend for further period(s) of one year up to the total maximum of five years.
To be included in, but not limited to, the services rendered are an annual energy review and management presentation; monthly review meetings and support; monthly energy performance reporting; compliance reviews, action plans and records; and data, change control, training and internal auditing.
