Summary of the contracting process

Independence C I C procured solar photovoltaic installation works under a requirement described as Lot 19 Solar. The scope identified is solar photovoltaic modules; the data does not describe installation quantities, system capacity or specific sites. Delivery locations span the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a works requirement rather than a purchase of modules alone, so the opportunity is relevant to businesses able to deliver solar photovoltaic works across the stated locations. The buyer is Independence C I C, based in Torquay. The process is complete and a supplier has been selected.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 May 2026. One supplier was selected; the supplier is identified as an SME and voluntary, community or social enterprise, but is not named in the available contracting information. The award records a value of £0. The tender estimated a value range of £399,709.72 to £479,651.66. The award contract period runs from 21 July 2025 to 25 December 2026. The tender deadline was 19 March 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method and evaluation criteria are not described in the contracting information, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be established. The requirement is presented as a single lot, covering solar photovoltaic works.

This award is evidence that Independence C I C procures solar photovoltaic works, with a requirement spanning several broad delivery territories rather than a single named site. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to demonstrate the ability to supply and install solar photovoltaic modules and deliver works across the relevant locations. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that an organisation of that scale and type was capable of winning this procurement. The scope gives solar installation contractors and photovoltaic suppliers a direct indication of the buyer’s demand. The procurement data does not identify technical standards, accreditations, installation capacity or selection criteria, so it does not establish particular qualifications as conditions for competing.
