Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council is inviting tenders for a new Solar PV & Associated Equipment Framework. The framework aims to cover both lower value, high-frequency projects and higher value, more complex works. The procurement process is in the tender stage, with a submission deadline on 20th September 2024 and a target award date of 13th December 2024. The framework, valid for 4 years, will be split into two lots: Lot 1 for works up to £300k and Lot 2 for works from £150k. Key projects include installations at Brambles Infant School and Nursery and the Mountbatten Centre. The framework is accessible to all contracting authorities within Hampshire, Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset, and Oxfordshire, with an estimated total procurement value of up to £75m.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in solar energy and associated equipment. SMEs can benefit significantly by being part of the framework, especially as it accommodates both principal and sub-contractor roles. The open procurement method allows for a wide range of suppliers to participate in a competitive bidding process. Firms experienced in design, supply, installation, and possibly operation and maintenance of solar PV systems will find this tender particularly advantageous. The comprehensive nature of this framework presents ample opportunities for business growth over the four-year period, with potential call-offs through mini-competition and direct awards, ensuring sustained project engagement and revenue generation.
