Could you benefit from the £80m Wave 2.2 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund?
 

The Government has recently announced an additional £80 million allocation for Wave 2.2 of the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF). As further bid information is set to be announced in November, it is crucial to begin the necessary preparations for your proposal.  Wave 2.2 is aimed at those social housing providers who either did not bid or were not successful on Wave 2.1.

 

If your organisation requires assistance with bid applications and subsequent project delivery, Compliance Specifics is available to provide independent end-to-end support.  Our track record includes delivery of 3 SHDF Demonstrator projects, 6 SHDF Wave 1 projects, and 12 SHDF Wave 2.1 projects - and counting!

 

We have made substantial contributions to the bidding process, offering expertise in areas such as comprehensive stock appraisals, detailed retrofit design packs (with Constructive Thinking Studio), cost estimation, and project planning.  Our services extend beyond bid preparation, as we can also assist your organisation in project delivery, reporting, and post-project monitoring to ensure PAS 2035 compliance.
