In such instances the call off will be clearly identified as a domestic property installation and will be issued through the relevant framework lot. Depending on each of the individual call off requirements there may be a need for the inclusion of battery storage, and this will be incorporated into the Employers Requirements for each call off. Schemes called off from the Framework will be located within the City of Sunderland and will be commercial properties.
