Notice Title

Award of PROVISION OF LEGAL SERVICES TO SCOTTISH MINISTERS: SCOTLAND'S ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMM...

Notice Description

Scotland's Energy Efficiency Programme's Equity Loans Scheme (SEEP Equity Loans) provides Equity Loans of up to PS40,000 towards the capital cost of installing eligible energy efficiency measures and essential repairs for owner occupiers and smaller private sector landlords. In this pilot, eligible homeowners (including private landlords) are able to borrow from the Scottish Government for works and repay at sale or transfer ownership. The scheme seeks to encourage take-up of energy efficiency measures by also providing finance for a range of repairs to the dwelling.The Scottish Ministers ('The Purchaser') requires a legal Service Provider to support the scheme. A form of Standard Security requires development for the equity loans, and solicitors are necessary to act on behalf of Scottish Government in recording the security and carrying out associated legal work on each loan. The Service Provider will liaise with EST who will be administering the equity loan scheme on behalf of the Scottish Government. Please note that a Conflict of Interest Service Provider is necessary and shall be appointed also.
