Procurement Information

1) Membership of the Centre of Excellence. The Retrofit Academy is the Centre of Excellence, and as such is the only option for membership.

The membership includes tailored support and training package for each member. TRA are the only accredited provider of: * Certificate in Domestic Retrofit Advice * Award in Domestic Retrofit Assessment * Diploma in Retrofit Coordination & Risk Management These courses are accredited through an awarding body (OCNWM) who are regulated under OFQUAL, and so are fully and properly accredited training qualifications. Any other provider would have to develop their own bespoke training package, and get accreditation. 2) Updating existing toolkit and increasing accessibility to support Local Authorities The Retrofit Toolkit has been developed by Retrofit Academy specifically to support these projects. As they own the intellectual property rights in the Toolkit, any other provider appointed would have to build their own from scratch, assuming they have access to the necessary expertise to do so.
