Prior Information Notice - Design, Supply & Installation Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panel Systems & Associated Equipment - Multi Contractor Framework 2024
Notice Description
Portsmouth City Council (the Council) is issuing this Prior Information Notice to advise suitable PV installation contractors of the intention to create a new framework for the Supply & Installation Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Panel Systems & Associated Equipment to replace the existing Framework Agreement, which expires in August 2024. The purpose of this PIN is to engage with the market to obtain a better understanding of the level of interest from potential contractors in delivering the associated works. To provide further information on the new framework, the draft version of the Framework Overview and Operational Procedure Document will be made available by the Councils e-sourcing system InTend. Interested Contractors are invited to express their interest and, at their own option, provide feedback on the prosed framework and lotting structure using the correspondence function on Intend. Contractors who express interest during the PIN will be advised when the Contract Notice is published, though the tender opportunity will be open to all suitably experienced contractors when the opportunity is published. Framework Overview Contractors on the new framework will be expected to undertake a range of energy generation works, including the design, supply installation, operation, and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems and associated equipment, taking on the role of Principal Contractor or sub-contractor to oversee and manage works using a range of either direct labour or through sub-contractors. The Framework will serve as the primary route to procure solar PV, battery storage and electric vehicle charge point (EVCP) installation projects for Portsmouth City Council, with works generally being undertaken to the Councils portfolio of nearly 15,000 social housing properties and 900 corporate assets to help contribute towards the Council's 2030 Net Zero Carbon target. The framework will be split into two lots, to cover lower value higher frequency call offs and higher value more complex packages of works - * Lot 1 - works to the value up to PS150K, typically in the region of PS20K to PS50K. There will be up to 14 contractors on this lot, with a primary tier of 6 contractors and a secondary tier of up to 8 contractors. * Lot 2 - works from PS150K, with no upper limit for the works but typically the works will range from PS150,000 to PS400,000. There will be up to 10 contractors with 5 contractors on the primary tier and up to 5 contractors on the secondary tier. Contractors will be able to apply to either or both tiers of the framework agreement. The framework agreement will be established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following live Council projects: Lot 1 - Brambles Infant School and Nursery -Supply and Installation, with elements of Contractor's Design of 40kWp Solar Photovoltaics (PV) at Brambles Infant School and Nursery. Lot 2 - Mountbatten Centre - Desig...
