Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Chichester College Group is procuring energy-management and related services for a Power Purchase Agreement-funded solar photovoltaic roof array, with battery storage as an option, at Haywards Heath College. The project forms part of the college group’s programme to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency, aligned with the Association of Colleges Carbon Neutral Agenda. The requirement concerns the continuing rollout of roof-mounted solar generation and associated energy infrastructure. It is a services opportunity rather than a supply-only purchase, and the intended delivery location is Haywards Heath College. Businesses working in commercial solar PV, battery storage, renewable-energy infrastructure, energy management or PPA-funded projects should find the scope relevant, particularly where they can deliver an integrated rooftop generation solution.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers using a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. Bids were to be submitted by 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2047. Its stated value is £900,000, inclusive of the published scope for the solar PV roof array and battery-storage option. The procurement is classified principally as energy-management services, with energy and related services also covered. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The tender is for a single stated requirement rather than a set of separately described lots. Offers are assessed through the restricted tender process, with participation requiring suppliers to meet the buyer’s selection and tender requirements.

This opportunity suits solar-energy contractors, renewable-energy developers, battery-storage specialists, energy-management providers and businesses experienced in structuring or delivering Power Purchase Agreements. Strong candidates will be able to design and provide roof-mounted solar PV arrays, assess or incorporate battery storage, and manage the technical and commercial requirements of an energy-efficiency project for a college estate. Relevant experience in reducing operational emissions, improving energy performance and delivering low-carbon infrastructure will help suppliers demonstrate fit with the college group’s objectives. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so it may suit an established specialist, a growing renewable-energy business or a consortium combining generation, storage, project-finance and energy-management capability. Suppliers should be prepared to deliver a long-term solution and support the college’s wider carbon-reduction programme.
