The procurement, under the category of 'General public services', primarily involves the delivery of energy efficiency services to private houses aiming to reduce fuel costs and address fuel poverty. Located in the Western Isles, this contract is procured via a limited method without prior publication of a call for competition due to its value being under the EU threshold.
