One brief
Give every supplier the same building, energy, operating and design information.
CARES quotation support
Get quotes you can compare for your CARES project.
FLO helps make the proposed work, price and assumptions clear enough for your group to compare options and prepare an application.
Every property is different. The free survey checks what is possible before you commit to a system.
The answer you need
Why can three renewable quotations be impossible to compare?
Suppliers may price different capacities, temperatures, access, electrical work or exclusions. A common brief and comparison schedule expose those differences before the board selects a route.
The property-specific checks
What will FLO check for your property?
We use these details to work out what is practical, what needs more investigation and what the next step should be.
One schedule

One decision trail
Record clarifications, conflicts, scoring and the reason for the chosen route.

Good to know
Questions you may have.
Does the lowest quotation have to win?+
Follow the applicable fund and governance rules. Technical completeness, delivery and value may require a documented evaluation beyond the headline total.
Can FLO write the brief and bid for the work?+
Roles and conflicts should be transparent. The board should preserve fair comparison and follow Local Energy Scotland's current quotation guidance.
What exclusions matter most?+
Access, electrical upgrades, emitters, roof work, planning, network work, commissioning and VAT commonly change the true total.
What might change the recommendation?+
Support should clarify technical comparability without misrepresenting the funder's procurement requirements or guaranteeing that a particular quotation will be accepted.
Original guidance and sources +
