If the Council agrees to proceed with particular options, we will want advice on implementation. We will require the consultant to: Stage 1 - Provide impartial advice on the options available for solar PV and other renewable energy generation on council buildings including the housing stock. The Council will then select which options if any to pursue. In addition, we would like advice on grant funding streams that are available for renewable energy schemes.

The Council then decide on which business cases, if any, to pursue further. Stage 3 - Based on options selected from Stage 2 by the Council to pursue further, to develop a specification to put out to tender for the installation. Stage 4 - Provide advice during the implementation of any options, to ensure informed decisions are made during the implementation phase.
