Summary of the contracting process

Caredig Ltd, a private utility company based in Swansea, United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for a significant solar photovoltaic (PV) installation project. The contract, titled "Award for PV Installation to Princess of Wales Court", involves installing PV systems and heat metering at the Princess of Wales Court, a sheltered scheme comprising 74 flats. The procurement, conducted through an open, below-threshold competition, transitioned from the tender stage on 1st October 2025, through the award stage on 13th November 2025, and finally reached completion by 5th January 2026. The main procurement category is "works", and the contract started on 8th January 2026, scheduled to conclude on 28th February 2026. The industry category primarily revolves around solar energy and solar panel installation services, with delivery within the regions UKL14 and UKL18, United Kingdom.

The awarded contract to Sureserve Energy Services Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), creates substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in solar energy solutions and electrical installations. Businesses that hold the MCS accreditation and have experience in delivering large-scale solar installations would find this tender particularly advantageous. Additionally, companies capable of providing comprehensive services, including PV systems, hot water storage, and heat meter installations, will be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. This project reflects a significant opportunity to expand market presence and expertise in sustainable energy projects within the UK housing sector.
