This research project will be procured through the Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA) dynamic purchasing system. This will be run through HELGA Service 1 - Energy Advisory, Design and Technical Services (Advisory) under the following filter: * Energy efficiency in buildings Full details of this requirement will be shared with appointed HELGA suppliers when the competition launches.
