Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Design and Installation of a Solar Farm and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Docks Way Landfill Site" is being managed by Cyson Cymru, a sub-central government public authority operating under Welsh devolved regulations. Located in Newport, United Kingdom, the project initially entered the open competition stage but was recently cancelled on 20th July 2026 due to the need to address identified document issues. Prior to this cancellation, the tender was active, with a closing submission deadline slated for 14th August 2026. The procurement category is classified under 'works', focusing on construction and installation within the solar energy sector.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in engineering, procurement, and construction within the renewable energy sector, particularly those experienced with solar photovoltaic systems and battery energy storage solutions. With an intended contract value of approximately £2.7 million, this project requires contractors capable of delivering high-quality, turnkey renewable energy systems. Companies with expertise in sustainable energy technologies, grid connection, and ongoing maintenance would be well-suited to compete when this tender is republished. The project promises prospects for business growth and expansion as it involves designing and implementing an infrastructure upgrade at Newport City Council’s recycling centre depot.
