Accordingly, we have posed a range of questions that we would appreciate responses to, to enable us to move forward in this process. About our heat networks CCHA have 12 schemes with a Heat Network, containing in total 360 units. These are communal gas boilers providing heating and hot water to all flats within the scheme. Two of these schemes currently have heat meters installed within each independent unit, totalling 46 units. 1. The services we are primarily looking for from a metering and billing supplier to provide in relation to heat networks are also follows: a) The provision of heat network contracts to residents, which meet the requirements of the heat network regulations b) The provision of energy bills, which meet the requirements of the heat network regulations c) The creation and management of a vulnerable customers registration d) Management of heat network related complaints e) Provision of reporting information to use which would enable us to comply with regulatory reporting requirements f) Collection of energy payments from residents with the ability to transfer these payments to CCHA on an agreed frequency g) Debt collection service, incorporating specific provisions for vulnerable customers h) The management and maintenance of meters Can you confirm if these are services that you would intend to provide under a metering provider agreement? If not, please indicate which of the services listed you would not be able to provide. 2. We are also specifically interested in what support a supplier can offer to ensure meters are compliant and upgraded as necessary. Can you please indicate what services you offer in this area? 3. We currently procure our own energy supplier, can you indicate if this is something that you would be able to support with under a metering and billing agreement with CCHA, therefore moving to a service where you would procure the supply on our behalf? 4.
