"DECC has today announced two appointments to help ensure robust management of the Green Deal programme.
Green Deal Oversight Body
Multi service provider Gemserv will run the new Green Deal oversight body and will be responsible for the registration of assessors, installers and providers and monitoring compliance with the Code of Practice under the Government’s flagship energy efficiency programme.
Gemserv, with their partners REAL, has been chosen to provide these services on behalf of DECC for the next three years following an open competition. Both Gemserv and REAL currently operate the MCS scheme for DECC so are well acquainted with the challenges and requirements involved in operating a scheme of this nature.
The service will commence in early August ahead of the staged introduction of the Green Deal later in the year.
Following feedback from industry and consumers DECC has also today confirmed that there will be no fees for assessors, installers and providers who wish to get the official Green Deal stamp of approval during the first two years of the scheme. DECC will fund all costs associated with the registration and oversight service for the first two years, with the intention of moving to a fee-based approach from year three onwards, when the Green Deal has become established."

So that will cause a rush by everyone and their dog ....
