NIA Introduces New Service for Local Authorities & Housing Associations 12th February 2015 With the cuts to the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) announced by Government last year, an increasing number of Local Authorities and Housing Associations are now unable to secure ECO funding for insulation programmes and are therefore funding these from their own budgets – as a result the NIA are increasingly being contacted asking for their help in finding local installers to carry out work on their behalf.In response to these requests the National Insulation Association (NIA) has announced the introduction of a new service for Local Authorities and Housing Associations looking for insulation companies to work on their projects. They can provide them with details of these projects and they will then issue expressions of interest and tender requests on their behalf to our members through our electronic communication system. This provides the benefit of avoiding the need to contact lots of different companies and is immediate.The NIA is the lead trade body for insulation measures in the UK. In addition, NIA members are required to meet their robust membership criteria and adhere to their strict code of professional practice and therefore using their members provides additional reassurance and peace of mind.SERS are proud to be an NIA member.
