Companies that are proficient in conducting detailed energy surveys, providing tailored recommendations, and supporting SMEs in optimising their energy use will be particularly well-positioned to bid for this contract. The focus on engaging with SMEs also opens avenues for smaller firms looking to expand their client base and enhance their service offerings in environmental sustainability. ## Notice The University of Portsmouth has secured European Regional Development Funds (ERDF) to deliver the EMphasis3 CO2 Reductions project which aims to support the shift towards a low carbon economy in the Enterprise M3 area by promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy use in SMEs and promoting research and innovation in, and adoption of low carbon technologies.
