Summary of the contracting process

Portsmouth City Council has awarded a framework agreement for the design, supply, and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems and associated equipment. This new framework for 2024 aims to cover a range of energy generation works, including potential maintenance, within the construction industry. The framework consists of two lots: Lot 1, intended for lower value projects up to £300,000, and Lot 2, for projects starting from £150,000 with no upper limit. The contract period runs from 9th December 2024 to 8th December 2028. The framework will be accessible to various contracting authorities situated in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset, and Oxfordshire, with an estimated procurement value of up to £25m for Lot 1 and up to £50m for Lot 2 over the four-year span.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in solar PV and related equipment. Companies involved in engineering design services, electrical accessories, and mechanical engineering installation works will find ample scope for participation. The open procedure procurement method enables fair competition, allowing SMEs to engage actively. Businesses with the capability to manage and execute energy generation projects, including both smaller frequent tasks and more substantial complex works, will be well-suited to compete. Engaging in this framework can lead to long-term partnerships and continuous work over the four-year period, fostering business growth and expanding market presence, especially in the south and southeast regions of the UK.
