A core component of the awarded funding is to trial such engagement methods through multiple avenues, this includes places like community centers, GP surgeries, and DWP offices. Through this project, we are also looking to bring mainstream retrofit into the DIY market. To do this B&Q will create drop-in centres in their two highest footfall stores in Greater Manchester. B&Q were a named partner in the LEAD project bid to undertake this activity. This innovative development is something brand new and a service that is not offered at all elsewhere to deliver such a service within the timescales required for mobilizing this project. ## CPV classification Other community, social and personal services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/402e3343-de6b-4781-a883-37da342ab877) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
