NIBE Energy Systems has been appointed to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority’s (GMCA) £1.5bn Net Zero Housing Retrofit Framework Agreement.
It is been named as a supplier under Lot 1 (Supply of Heat Pump systems and associated components) and Lot 2 (Controls & Monitors).
According to a statement, this procurement framework aims to drive decarbonisation across Greater Manchester’s housing stock between 2025 and 2030. It added that the frame work is set to see the installation of 64,000 low carbon heating systems, including 54,000 domestic installations.
The framework will be the primary route, it noted, through which local authorities and registered housing providers across Greater Manchester procure low-carbon heating systems and support technologies over the next five years.
Robin Adderley, sales director of NIBE UK, said: “We are proud to be part of this significant regional initiative. Decarbonising homes at scale is critical to achieving the UK’s net zero goals, and Greater Manchester is leading the way. Our participation on Lots 1 and 2 ensures housing providers have access to best-in-class heat pump technology and smart control systems to meet the growing demand for efficient, future-proofed homes.”
As part of this wider commitment, NIBE has also joined the GM Low Carbon Heating Industry Group. This is a collaborative initiative convened by GMCA to bring together industry manufacturers and installers to support the delivery of the city-region’s Five-Year Environment Plan (5YEP).
With a target to reach carbon neutrality by 2038, the statement said that Greater Manchester is building on successful partnerships and forward-thinking policy to stimulate local market growth.
