Businesses are invited to apply for funding through a pioneering initiative focused on creating eco-friendly solutions for homes throughout Scotland.

West Dunbartonshire Council has secured funding from Scottish Enterprise as part of the Can Do Green Heat Retrofit Innovation Challenge.

The Council are now seeking up to three companies to collaborate with them to develop technology and concepts for net zero heating and hot water supply systems in flatted and other types of properties which offer value for money for tenants. A total of £50,000 is available per company.

Depending on the successful concept, a prototype may be developed and a further funding application could be made to Scottish Enterprise to take this forward and trial the technology in homes.

Although the solution can take aspects from other industries and sectors, it cannot already exist as a fully formed concept.

Each of the three successful bidders will be supported to develop their concept by experienced officers from West Dunbartonshire Council and North Lanarkshire Council. They will have three months to assess the technical and commercial feasibility of their solution with a view to maximising efficiency and quality in social housing retrofit for the benefits of the tenants and the environment.

Details can be found on the Public Contracts Scotland website for companies interested in bidding to be involved.
