Summary of the contracting process

Hillcrest procured solar photovoltaic systems and associated materials for use across its residential housing stock. The requirement covers solar PV systems, battery storage, mounting systems and associated electrical components, together with related services and supplier support. Hillcrest operatives are expected to install the equipment, supporting expansion of existing PV installations, standardisation across the estate and compatibility with current maintenance, monitoring and operational arrangements. The procurement is for goods, including solar panels and photovoltaic modules. Delivery and installation activity covers residential properties in Dundee, Angus and Perthshire. Hillcrest is a public body responsible for housing and community amenities, and also acts as a central purchasing body. The requirement is therefore relevant to electrical distributors, renewable-energy equipment suppliers and manufacturers able to support housing-estate deployment.

The procurement has reached award and contract stage. Hillcrest used an open procedure, with electronic submissions, and evaluated bids on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Five bids were received, all electronically; one came from an SME. The award is active and was made to Edmundson Electrical Ltd. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and is active, with a value of £284,177. The tender’s estimated value was £300,000. The planned contract period was 270 days. The tender submission deadline was 9 June 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at 14:00 the same day and a 90-day bid validity period. The requirement was presented as one lot, although that lot is recorded as cancelled; the active award and contract relate to it.

This procurement shows established demand from Hillcrest for standardised renewable-energy equipment across a residential housing estate, rather than a one-off supply of individual panels. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide complete PV system packages, including battery storage, mounting systems, photovoltaic modules and associated electrical components. They would also need to support installation by the buyer’s own operatives, with products compatible with existing maintenance, monitoring and operational arrangements. Credibility would come from experience supplying housing or other multi-property estates, dependable distribution capacity, consistent equipment ranges and practical technical support. The competition attracted five electronic bids, including one SME, indicating that suppliers would need to compete on both technical quality and price, with quality carrying greater weight.
