UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council initiated a limited procurement process for the Solar PV Installation project in Sunderland Schools as part of Phase 2 funded by the Mayoral Renewable Fund. This procurement involves the supply and installation of solar panels in selected schools, with potential for expansion to additional sites. Located within the UKC23 region, Sunderland is the focus area of this undertaking, with works provided by small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in the solar energy industry. The procurement method was below-threshold limited competition, culminating in the award and contract phases by early February 2026. The latest contracts were signed on 10th February 2026, with installation works expected to be completed by 11th March 2026.

This project represents a strategic opportunity for SMEs specialising in renewable energy solutions, particularly those with expertise in solar panel installations. Oakes Energy Services Ltd and ADVANCED RENEWABLE POWER LTD, both SMEs, have already been engaged to execute the project, evidencing opportunities for similar-sized companies that can demonstrate competitive capabilities in solar panel installation and maintenance. Businesses looking to engage in the renewable energy and educational sectors would benefit significantly from participating in tenders like this, as Sunderland continues to show commitment to expanding its sustainable energy infrastructure.
