Notice Information

Notice Title

Fentenfenna Farm CIC - Solar Panel and Storage Batteries

Notice Description

Fentenfenna Farm was established in 2020 to support Cornwall's rural economy through the provision of space for new entrants into the agri-food sector. The farm has three operating platforms: a rural enterprise hub, a food skills training centre, and a food hub. The goal of the farm is to support micro and small regenerative agri-food enterprises, deliver food skills training, and provide food aid to the community. The Fentenfenna Farm Food Hub exists to contribute towards a resilient food system for Cornwall. It does this in two ways: by providing a food storage and logistics solution for Mid-Cornwall that supports local producers, wholesale customers, and community organisations, and by combining salvaged waste food with organically grown local produce to create high nutrient density products for donation and retail. The Food Hub's primary function is to provide food aid to those most in need by salvaging waste food, packing it, and distributing it to community partners. As part of this exciting venture, we are seeking to install a 50kw solar array, with 24 kw of battery storage to ensure long term financial and energy resilience. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
