Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Police procured works to supply and fit solar panels at Vale House, under the solar energy category (CPV 09330000). The requirement covers installation rather than only the supply of equipment, and is intended to provide solar energy infrastructure for the police authority’s site. Delivery is in the Yorkshire and the Humber area. The buying organisation is North Yorkshire Police. This is a site-specific renewable energy project for a public-sector estate, relevant to solar photovoltaic installers, renewable energy contractors and firms that combine equipment supply with on-site installation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist contractors were within the intended supplier market.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ecolution Group Limited trading as Ecolution. The award was made on 7 August 2026 for £93,328.45 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 15 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Procure Public Renewable Heating Framework 2025, Lot 4, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was classified as works, with the stated procurement value matching the awarded value. The published outcome identifies one successful supplier and an active award.

This award demonstrates demand from North Yorkshire Police for a defined solar panel supply-and-installation package at a public-sector site, delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need to combine solar equipment procurement with practical installation capability, site planning, safe working and the ability to complete works within a fixed delivery window. Experience of public-sector or framework-based contracting would be commercially relevant, particularly the ability to work to framework terms, provide compliant quotations and manage the authority’s administrative requirements. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist renewable energy installer or a smaller contractor with dependable supply-chain partners could compete when a comparable requirement returns.
