The quality assessment criteria have helped us to ask the right questions of our project, and our energy services provider at key stages of development to give us more certainty that we are on the right track. They also provide a useful checklist to give to our staff when we bring them into the project, and if service providers can be independently assured to be able to deliver against these criteria, this will help consumers to sign off investments internally and get more projects moving.

From a Contractor’s perspective, a scheme that can offer independent assurance by a nationally recognised trade body that shows we deliver high quality energy performance contracting services, is very appealing. It helps us to secure the business case with clients and at an industry level it can build trust to help increase uptake and speed up transactions. Also, having a publicly available set of quality assessment criteria gives clients more information and certainty on what to expect, and provides us with a helpful self assessment tool to ensure we are always delivering to a high standard.
