On behalf of the Suffolk Climate Emergency Programme (SCEP), Suffolk County Council (SCC) has awarded a contract to design and deliver a retrofit assessment scheme. Suffolk County Council’s requirement is for a provider who can deliver the full programme management of the retrofit assessment voucher scheme.

The scheme will be targeted at homeowners across the whole of Suffolk (all 5 Local Authorities – Babergh, East Suffolk, Ipswich, Mid Suffolk, West Suffolk). The scope of the contract will cover the following:
- The Service Provider will lead on formulating, running and promoting a marketing campaign to ensure that there is strong take-up of the voucher scheme by different demographics across Suffolk.

- The Service Provider will assist homeowners by offering practical advice on how to proceed with implementing the measures outlined in the assessment reports and providing guidance on grant funding (where applicable).
- The Service Provider will signpost homeowners to other Council initiatives concerning retrofitting, such as the Suffolk Retrofit Loan Scheme.
