Public Sector & Education
Public-sector and education estates face binding carbon targets and constrained capital, all under procurement rules that demand demonstrable value for money. Independent advice keeps both the business case and the process defensible.
Councils, schools, universities, NHS trusts and other public bodies sit under binding carbon commitments and constant pressure on capital — while having to procure everything through rules that demand demonstrable value for money. Solar fits their goals, but the process has to be right.
Independent advice keeps both the business case and the procurement defensible: compliant, auditable tenders or framework calls; a clear-eyed comparison of grant, borrowing and PPA funding; and carbon-and-cost evidence in a form that stands up to public reporting and audit.

How do we fund solar with limited capital?
We compare prudential borrowing, grant routes and PPAs, and run the procurement so the chosen route is compliant and auditable.
Can this support our published net-zero targets?
Yes. We evidence the carbon and cost savings in a form suitable for public reporting and scrutiny.
