ECO 4 Programme

The London Borough of Barking & Dagenham is seeking expressions of interest from licensed energy suppliers to develop the next four year stage of our across-tenure Cosy Homes programme of installing energy efficiency measures which cut fuel poverty and reduce carbon footprints through Energy Company Obligations (ECO4).

There is a particular emphasis on providing affordable warmth solutions by: - Raising the EPC rating of the Council's E, F and G-rated properties - Working with our licensing team to support landlords make their properties more energy efficient - Providing heating and insulation works to qualifying owner-occupiers - Supporting efforts to insulate homes under our localised LA Flex criteria - Working with stakeholders, to stimulate the Able to Pay market - Creating new jobs in the local retrofit and renewables industry

Suppliers should also note that the Borough is looking for a partner who provides a fully-funded and fully managed scheme, appointing its own managing agent but with consideration given to suitable local supply chains for a proportion of the installation of measures. Expressions of Interest requests will only be accepted from fully licensed ECO4-mandated energy suppliers. Requests from managing agents, installers and contractors will be declined.

Interested parties will be expected to return an electronically completed questionnaire and should apply for the Expressions of Interest Pack from neil.pearce@lbbd.gov.uk.
