A Comprehensive Guide to Retrofit Coordination
Cyd Innovation played a vital role in building the foundations for a new retrofit initiative that will make it easier for residents in York to access a supply chain they have confidence in.
YorEnergy, a collaboration of eight partners led by City of York Council, appointed Cyd Innocation as a strategic procurement partner, after a survey revealed 78 per cent of people didn’t know which brands to trust for retrofit solutions.
Cyd Innovation led on the introduction of a robust procurement process to develop a database of qualified and competent suppliers and installers. This included producing relevant documents to capture key attributes such as good governance and technical qualifications, auditing applications, and approving or providing feedback where necessary.
The dynamic purchasing system will allow residents to find suitable firms to work on all aspects of retrofit, including solar panels, heating solutions, EV charging points, insulation, and windows and doors.
