Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council, in collaboration with several other local authorities in South East Wales, is initiating a planned procurement process focused on Solar PV Collective Purchasing. This falls under the Energy-management services category, aiming to support climate emergency efforts and decarbonisation in the Cardiff Capital Region. The tender is in the planning stage, with early market engagement activities planned to identify accredited installers for solar photovoltaic arrays, battery storage, and electric vehicle chargers. Main contact and submissions are to be facilitated via Proactis, with expressions of interest required for further engagement.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in renewable energy solutions, particularly those with expertise in solar energy installations, battery storage technology, and EV charging infrastructure. Accredited installers, service providers for customer service management, and data analytics firms to support project data provision are well-suited to compete. Businesses operating in the specified regions such as Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, and the Vale of Glamorgan should be particularly interested in this opportunity.
