This page has information for suppliers about the procurement arrangements and accreditations required for the Sustainable Warmth programme and other future Government-funded retrofit schemes.
The Sustainable Warmth programme brings together two new schemes to tackle fuel poverty – Local Authority Delivery Phase 3 (LAD3) and Home Upgrade Grant Phase 1 (HUG1). The programme is Government funded and follows on from the Local Authority Delivery Phase 2 (LAD2) scheme that we are currently running in the region.
We have been successful in obtaining Sustainable Warmth funding from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) on behalf of local authorities. The programme will be delivered by local authorities and in some cases by social housing providers.
We want installers who are certified to PAS 2030:2019 and/or MCS standards, to provide energy-efficiency measures, renewable energy and low carbon heating for LAD2, Sustainable Warmth and other future Government-funded retrofit programmes in the Greater South East region.
An opportunity opens every month for installers that are PAS 2030:2019 and MCS accredited, to register on our Dynamic Purchasing System. The System is used by local authorities and social housing providers in the region to buy retrofit works. How it works: Installers that meet the registration criteria are added to our Dynamic Purchasing System. Local authorities then invite suppliers on the System to bid for a specific contract that is relevant to their area of work.
