PROCUREMENT

Cornerstone works predominantly in the public sector for local authorities and housing associations, completing retrofit works to domestic housing stock.

We recognise that identifying and appointing a suitable contractor for energy efficiency works can be challenging, especially when funding deadlines mean time is of the essence.

Often it is beneficial to use an existing procurement route such as an industry-specific framework or DPS – allowing you to access pre-vetted contractors in compliance with Public Contracts Regulations and saving the time and cost of a full procurement process.
