      Further to the description above:
Organisations should look to:
-Build partnerships and consortia of local tradesmen, manufacturers, local authorities and finance providers that continue in the post-funding period
-Increase the uptake of thermal retrofit projects, particularly amongst owner occupiers and alongside Repair Maintenance and Improvement (RMI) work
-Demonstrate an approach that can be replicated at a broader level.
Successful organisations would also be responsible for project coordination, trades matching and quality assurance, potentially through the use of third-party retrofit coordinators or measurement of actual performance of improvements.
Funding allocated will not be available for directly subsidising the cost of measures, and organisations will be encouraged not to attempt to leverage ECO funding. Instead they should seek finance from third parties including local authorities, or encourage homeowners to draw on existing financing options open to them.
