Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Folkestone & Hythe District Council procured works to supply and install roof-mounted solar photovoltaic systems on its social housing properties held within the Housing Revenue Account. The requirement covers solar photovoltaic modules and their installation, making it relevant to contractors able to deliver complete rooftop solar projects for public-sector housing. The work is located across the South East of England. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement is classified as works. The requirement forms part of the council’s housing decarbonisation activity for 2026–28, focused on installing renewable energy systems on existing social housing rather than supplying standalone equipment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IAN WILLIAMS LIMITED on 18 March 2026. The contract value is £2,200,000 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 April 2026 to 31 March 2028, and the contract was fully executed on 30 June 2026. Suppliers submitted responses by 13 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The council used a selective procedure through a further competition under the South East Consortium Decarbonisation Works Dynamic Purchasing System. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. IAN WILLIAMS LIMITED is the sole named awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Folkestone & Hythe District Council for an end-to-end solar PV contractor able to work on occupied or existing social housing assets across the South East. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in surveying roofs, designing suitable photovoltaic installations, supplying compliant equipment, managing installation works and completing commissioning safely across a housing portfolio. Experience of public-sector delivery, housing association or local-authority environments, resident liaison, site management and coordination across multiple properties would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route used was a further competition under a decarbonisation-focused dynamic purchasing system, so businesses seeking similar work would benefit from the relevant DPS capability and from demonstrating reliable delivery of substantial housing retrofit programmes.
