Installer opportunities through Local Authority Delivery (LAD) schemes

The Government’s Local Authority Delivery (LAD) funding scheme has allowed councils to set up a range of retrofit energy efficiency schemes, providing opportunities for installers through public sector frameworks.

Councils have the scope to create schemes that provide fully funded installs to qualifying fuel poor residents, and can pick from a range of measures which include:

Loft insulation
Room in roof insulation
Cavity wall insulation
Underfloor insulation
External wall insulation
Air source heat pumps
Ground source heat pumps
Solar thermal systems

Opportunities to apply to frameworks may exist to installers through the five Local Energy Hubs (LEHs) that span England (the scheme is not available in the devolved nations).

Applying to frameworks

Most LEPs have Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPS) in place to procure installers.

These have been set up to help local authorities choose approved contractors for their projects and build frameworks.
