Summary of the contracting process

Crawley Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the Solar Carport Project at the K2 Crawley Centre.

The contract, valued at £961,176.47, commenced on 4th December 2024 and will conclude on 30th April 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in electrical installation and renewable energy projects, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive design and build solutions under tight deadlines.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Crawley Borough Council - Solar Carport Project

Notice Description

Crawley Borough Council requires a Contractor to design and build a solar carport scheme at the K2 Crawley Centre in Crawley, over areas of the existing car park. The contract is inclusive of the purchase of the solar panels. Multiple route to market options were investigated however funding allocation and timetable restrictions would not have allowed for any contract to be awarded soon enough for the project to be completed on time. This was critical as funding was connected to time limitations. An exemption was granted by Crawley Borough Council, in accordance with section 6.3 of the Council's Procurement Code, to award a below-threshold works contract by direct award on the grounds of genuine urgency.
