The University of York has issued this market engagement questionnaire to seek feedback from the energy market to help it to shape its strategy prior to advertising its LED lighting upgrade programme. The aim is for the University to obtain detailed feedback from suppliers and installers, who are capable of supplying services to the University. The University is keen to hear what strategies have been adopted by other similar customers, and what service supply options are available through the market.
The University intends to utilise the information collected from this questionnaire to develop a procurement strategy to take to market to procure a solution to its lighting upgrade requirements.
