With sustainability at its core, it will underpin the Scottish government’s drive for net zero by 2045 by supporting councils and housing associations in their efforts to tackle fuel poverty and reduce carbons emissions.

“It will also bring significant opportunities for the businesses that have secured a place on the framework, which includes 37 Scottish suppliers – 33 of which are SMEs.
