Energy Management System Contract(s) – Contract(s) relating to the organisation’s energy management system.

If the organisation does not have an Energy Management System, please confirm when this will be implemented.
It would be great if you mention the tentative date/month.

At this time Devon County Council does not have a plan for implementing an energy management system.
