GLASGOW-based Union Technical has been selected as an approved supplier to a major new public sector retrofit and decarbonisation framework.
Developed by the LHC Procurement Group and managed in Scotland by the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), the framework is valued at £660 million UK-wide and enables over 100 local authorities, social landlords, and other public sector bodies across the country to access high-quality retrofit and energy efficiency services.
Following a competitive tender process, Union Technical has been appointed to Lots 2 and 5 in Scotland. Lot 2 focuses on specialist energy efficiency consultancy services and Lot 5 covers the direct delivery of retrofit works including insulation, heating and ventilation and solar PV.
Michael Sweeney, director and co-founder of Union Technical, said, “This is a significant milestone for our business and reflects the strength of our expertise in delivering high-quality, complex projects for a wide range of customers. We’re proud to support local authorities and public bodies across Scotland in their efforts to reduce fuel poverty and meet net-zero targets.”
Founded 10 years ago, Union Technical specialises in energy services – providing housing associations, tenants, and private homeowners with retrofitting measures designed to make homes warmer, more sustainable and cheaper to heat. The firm has also developed its own whole-house, patented Smarter Homes approach, creating a new way to upgrade homes.
The firm’s current projects range from retrofitting 65 homes in Balintore in the Highlands, to working on 970 properties managed by Govan Housing Association.
Owen Coyle, co-founder and director, added, “We look forward to contributing to the decarbonisation of Scotland’s public buildings, and delivering meaningful social value in the communities we serve. Through skills training, local employment opportunities, and community benefit initiatives, we aim to make a lasting impact.”
