Notice Information

Notice Title

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

Notice Description

This Invitation to Tender (ITT) is issued by WSCC to seek and identify suitably qualified and interested organisations from the private, public and third (voluntary, community and charitable) sector to carry out surveys and to prepare a design and costing of the installation and maintenance of Solar PV and BESS, to install the equipment and to maintain the equipment at Designated Sites identified in Document No. 9 (Asset List). There is also the opportunity to add Pipeline Sites and Wider Estate to the Programme as detailed under 5- Scope of the ITT The Price that was used to evaluate the commercial aspect of tender returns was not Total Contract Value but was designed to provide a specific and 'benchmarkable' price for each bidder against items that the Council could 100% quantify/need as detailed in the ITT documentation. Therefore winning bidders price does not equate to Total Contract Value. Total Contract Value is still estimated to be a maximum of PS23M.
