ESG and Sustainability System

The City aims to partner with a software provider to support management of utility spend and consumption, with the ultimate aim of reducing cost and carbon. This will support Climate Action Strategy (CAS) goals and objectives of Net Zero in our own operations by 2027.

The following represent essential requirements which must be met by the supplier, who must be able to provide and manage both software solutions and invoice validation services.

1. Provide invoice validation services. This includes utilities on the City's corporate contracts and ad-hoc supplies. All invoices must be loaded by the contractor into the software.
2. Provide easily accessible and customizable dashboards for cost, consumption and carbon based on portfolio, site, utility, meter level and Fund.
3. Provide high consumption notifications for any utility/site/meter, based on invoice or HH data.
4. Ensure customer satisfaction by allocating a dedicated account manager and accountability for KPI performance.
5. Invoices to Accounts payable are provided in a file format requested by the City in order to upload to the City's payment system (SAP). This must be completed for all utilities including electricity, gas, district heating/cooling and water.
