Scotland Excel has unveiled a new energy efficiency contractors framework worth up to £800 million.

The four-year programme is anticipated to be worth between £50m - £200m each year and 26 Scottish companies have secured places as suppliers.

The scheme will help councils and housing associations take forward energy efficiency measures in their properties, tackling fuel poverty, creating warmer homes and cutting carbon emissions.

In addition, the framework provides easy access to contractors for a range of efficiency measures including wall, floor, loft, window and door insulation, gas boiler and heating systems, electrical storage heaters, solar panels, and domestic and non-domestic energy assessors.

Contractors have also pledged to deliver a range of measures including apprenticeships - to the local areas where business is secured.

Julie Welsh, Director of Scotland Excel, said: "I welcome the launch of this innovative contract. It is our largest ever in value and brings opportunities for 26 Scottish companies to secure a share of the business.

"With sustainability at its core, the contract will support councils and housing associations in their efforts to deliver energy efficiency improvements which will bring benefits to homes for current and future generations.
