When CIF pays for decarbonisation
- Failed boiler replaced by ASHP.
- Leaking roof replaced with insulated roof.
- Single-glazed windows replaced with double or triple glazing.
- End-of-life lighting replaced with LED.
Typical award and bid window
CIF runs annually; bid windows announced by DfE. Typical award £50k to £2m per project.
PSDS interaction
CIF and PSDS can both touch the same building over time but not the same intervention. CIF tends to win on like-for-like condition replacement; PSDS wins on optional decarbonisation works.
Where it fits
Best route for academy LED-only or condition-driven boiler replacements during the Phase 5 watch.
