Summary of the contracting process

The Cornwall Council is currently engaged in the planning stage of the "Solar Framework" procurement process, aimed at sourcing suppliers for solar panels. This initiative, classified under the solar photovoltaic modules industry, has a total estimated value of £30 million and will be carried out in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Interested contractors are invited to participate in a bidder morning on 26th February 2020, from 9 am to 12 noon at Pydar House, Truro, where they can learn more about the framework and provide input. The feedback obtained during this event will inform the Council's plans to enter the market by early March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the renewable energy sector, particularly those involved in the production, installation, and maintenance of solar panel systems. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to include various lots catering to different installation needs such as domestic, roof-mounted systems, and post-installation inspections. With a comprehensive introduction to the bidding process being offered, this is an ideal chance for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in the growing green energy market.
