The tender, titled "Design and Installation of Three (3) Solar and BESS Projects", falls within the works category and is set in the UK, specifically around Newport. The process is currently in the Tender stage with important deadlines: the enquiry period ends on 27th August 2026, and the tender period concludes on 1st September 2026. This open competition procurement method invites bids for the installation of solar panels and battery energy storage systems (BESS) at Newport High School, St Joseph’s High School, and Newport Velodrome, with work commencing on 11th September 2026.

This tender provides ample opportunities for local businesses, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), skilled in solar panel roofing and installation. Given the notable emphasis on price (70%) over quality (30%) in the award criteria, companies offering cost-effective solutions would have a competitive edge. The total project value exceeds £1.6 million, with each lot offering sustainable growth prospects to businesses aiming to align with the Newport County Council's target of reaching carbon Net Zero by 2030.
