Proposal

CCS, in partnership with ProcurePublic, have access to a renewable energy and alternative heating maintenance framework specifically for the social housing market.

This framework offers a dedicated and tailored approach to meeting the needs of the market for alternative heating services.

Motivation

Currently, the focus in the social housing market is primarily on gas heating and compliance, with little attention given to the maintenance and management of renewable systems.

However, as more renewable systems are installed in new build properties and through retrofit projects, there will be a growing need for servicing, maintenance, and compliance testing of alternative fuels.

Solution

The framework aims to address this need by offering a comprehensive range of mandatory and additional services to support the increasing demand for renewable energy solutions.

It also seeks to raise awareness, provide training and apprenticeship opportunities, and stimulate activity in the renewable energy sector.

WHY CHOOSE CCS?

Sustainability Commitment:
Our team is focused on enhancing sustainability by improving service and efficiency through advanced maintenance practices.

Expertise in Renewable Solutions:
Our skilled technicians are trained in the latest industry standards and technologies to ensure optimal performance for renewable and alternative fuel systems.

In-House Training Academy:
We have established our own training academy to elevate our services. This facility provides employees with opportunities to enhance their skills, participate in training sessions, engage in hands-on demonstrations, stay informed about industry trends, and ensure compliance with regulations.

Servicing helps to maintain the optimal performance of your renewable technology measures, ensuring that they are working at their full capacity and efficiency.

Longevity

Regular servicing can help to prolong the lifespan of your renewable technology measures, saving you money on costly repairs or replacements in the long run.

Compliance

Some renewable technology measures may require regular servicing to maintain compliance with manufacturer warranties.

Energy Savings

A well-maintained renewable technology measure is likely to be more energy-efficient, helping you/your residents to save money on energy bills.

Environmental Impact

By ensuring that your renewable technology measures are well-maintained, you can reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
