The service, valued at GBP 650,000, aims to provide energy advice to all tenants within Bristol City without eligibility criteria, targeting specific vulnerable groups such as older people, those with health issues, and individuals with utility arrears.

This procurement falls under the category of "Consultative engineering and construction services" (CPV: 71310000) and covers the UKK11 region.
