Low Carbon Freight Dividend
The Haven Gateway has secured nearly £3 million of European funding as part of a £7.5m project designed to shift about 30,000 containers off the roads and on to rail transport.
The three-year Low Carbon Freight Dividend project will support more than 300 SMEs (small and medium enterprises) in making important changes in the way they transport freight – with significant environmental benefits. SMEs in the East of England will be offered a Low Carbon Freight Dividend (grant) of up to 30%, for moving their freight from truck to train, where traditionally they have used only road transport.
As well as offering the dividend, the Low Carbon Freight Dividend project will feature workshops on Optimisation of Freight Movements as well as a Low Carbon Transport Marketing Package. A new website, including a resource element will be developed and a key part of the project will be the further development of the Containerised Cargo Carbon Calculator, an online tool developed by the Haven Gateway as a partner within Dryport, an EU Interreg IVB North Sea Region project.
This request for quotes is for the provision of workshops during the project. This contract may be extended in order to include other elements or additional workshops throughout the life of the project.
Quotes should be sent to Lisa Brazier by email by 5pm on Tuesday 17 April 2012.
