Summary of the contracting process

The East Cambridgeshire District Council has awarded a contract for the installation of solar PV panels on the roof of The Hive Leisure Centre in Ely. The project, classified under the solar energy industry, aims to enhance the energy efficiency of the district's leisure centre. The facility features various amenities such as swimming pools, a gym, a sports hall, and a 3G football pitch. The awarded contract, valued at £67,276.44, was given to Sungod Solar Ltd T/A SGS Energy, an SME based in Kent. The procurement process followed an open procedure, and the project is scheduled to be conducted from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 6th December 2024, with a completion date set for 31st March 2025 for the solar panel installation phase.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the solar energy and construction sectors, especially those specialising in solar PV panels and roof-covering work. SMEs with experience in similar projects are well-suited to compete, allowing them to demonstrate their expertise and contribute to a significant local government project. The Hive Leisure Centre will remain operational during the works, providing a unique challenge and opportunity for adept businesses to manage project delivery with minimal disruption. The indicative budget of £100,000 and the potential for additional funding for battery storage also offer a promising venture for growth and development within the renewable energy market.

Notice Information

Notice Title

East Cambridgeshire District Council The Hive Leisure Centre Solar Panels Installation

Notice Description

The Hive Leisure Centre located in Ely (CB6 2FE) is a district leisure centre in East Cambridgeshire owned by East Cambridgeshire District Council and run by GLL / Better. The facility has an 8-lane swimming pool, a teaching pool, gym, sports hall, fitness studies and 3G artificial football pitch with floodlights. The District Council is seeking to install solar PV panels on the roof of the building. The building height is 10m and can be access from within the building, but panels would need to be lifted from the outside. It is a flat roof with a single ply membrane and has a man safe system. The project has an indicative budget of PS100k for the PV panels work with the potential of additional funding for Battery storage. Battery storage is a separate part of the project and not part of the initial funding gained to deliver the PV panels but an option that we would like to explore. The Hive Leisure Centre plans to remain fully operational during the works and therefore any necessary requirements would need to be requested with the management team. The project is to be completed by 31st March 2025.
