Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Contractor Appointment for ESCC Solar PV Installation Programme 24/25" conducted by East Sussex County Council has reached the award stage, following a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. The process is now complete, having run a mini competition to appoint contractors for the installation of Solar PV systems across schools and corporate sites within the South East region of the United Kingdom. The contract value was substantial at £1,300,000, with the contract period starting from 1st April 2024 and concluding on 31st March 2025. The procurement was aligned with the construction work industry, categorized under the CPV code 45000000.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which were deemed suitable to participate. The nature of the work calls for businesses skilled in construction, especially those with expertise in solar panel installation and electrical services. Suppliers like Corin Dudley Electrical Service Ltd and AJ Taylor Electrical Contractors Ltd, both SMEs, were successfully awarded the contract, demonstrating the demand for such expertise among regional contractors. The structured framework agreement process enables businesses in these sectors to engage in competitive opportunities, potentially leading to further partnerships and contracts in the public sector.
