Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Burrow Beck Solar Farm ICP Works" has been concluded with an award by Lancaster City Council, focused on construction work in the renewable energy sector. The project involves designing, procuring, and constructing a solar farm with a capacity of approximately 4MWp, including associated grid connections at the Burrow Beck site south of Lancaster, UK. The procurement was managed through an open procedure under legal basis CELEX 32014L0024. The significant dates for this project included the final award on 17 March 2025, and the project is expected to be operational by October 2025. The contract, valued at £910,895.49 GBP, was awarded to Electricity North West (Construction and Maintenance) Limited.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction, renewable energy, and electrical supply sectors, particularly those with expertise in high-voltage works and solar energy installations. The project mandates the supply and installation of transformers, low voltage switchgear, and associated civil works, making it ideal for companies specialising in civil engineering, electrical systems, and solar energy solutions. As the tender was conducted through an open procurement method, it allowed a diverse range of suppliers to participate, although larger firms like Electricity North West, with significant resources and technical capacity, were better positioned to fulfil the contract's rigorous requirements. Such projects encourage businesses to innovate and expand their service offerings to exploit the growing demands for sustainable energy infrastructure.
