Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust procured full design and installation of photovoltaic solar panel systems across four designated rooftops at the Retained Estate of University Hospital Lewisham in London. The works are intended to improve the hospital's energy efficiency and reduce long-term carbon emissions. This is a public-building renewable energy and solar roof-covering project, classified under CPV 45261215. The requirement covers the complete installation service rather than the supply of panels alone, so it is relevant to firms able to manage rooftop surveys, system design, equipment integration and construction delivery in an operational hospital estate. Delivery is associated with University Hospital Lewisham, postcode SE13 6LH, in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to STEPNELL LIMITED on 1 March 2026. It used a selective call-off from the NHSSBS Decarbonisation Framework Agreement, reference SBS10504, Lot 1 for non-domestic and public buildings. The tender had a minimum estimated value of £570,000 and an estimated value of £728,246.67. The awarded value was £370,000. The contract period runs from 1 March 2026 to 31 March 2031. The tender submission deadline was 6 December 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The recorded procurement category is works, and the process was marked complete. The award is active, with STEPNELL LIMITED named as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates demand from an NHS trust for sizeable rooftop solar deployment across public healthcare buildings, combining professional design with installation capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need proven experience delivering photovoltaic systems on non-domestic or public-sector estates, including rooftop assessment, structural and electrical design, procurement, installation, commissioning and compliance management. Hospital work also calls for the capacity to plan safely around occupied facilities and coordinate access, site controls and disruption-sensitive construction. The buyer recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, while the selected supplier was classified as large. Familiarity with public-building decarbonisation requirements and access to the relevant framework route would therefore be commercially important when positioning for similar work from this buyer.
