Added Value

A key component of the partnership is the close working relationship that has developed with the council who, on the recommendation of Enerveo, now co-locate at its office in St Column Major to deliver this specific project. Not only has this saved valuable resource, but it has also established transparent and localised channels of communication and an in-depth understanding of the ongoing contract demands and requirements from a joint perspective. This has created a strong foundation from which the council can look to evolve the scope of the project to include smart city technologies. 

The complexities of the Integrated Technology Contract (ITC) work called for a ‘wraparound’ service where Enerveo has acted in a commissioning capacity to manage relationships with large specialist companies on behalf of the council, streamlining the reporting structure and acting as the single point of contact for the client. 

As part of the contract, Enerveo has shared plans to set up an apprenticeship scheme with the aim being to take on two apprentices per year.
