UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Stadium intends to install a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system at the West Ham shop on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. The works involve supplying and installing standard solar panels rather than a solar membrane, using a ballast-mounted system proposed at approximately 99kW and comprising 198 modules rated at 500W each. The scope also includes inverters, associated cabling and containment, and alternating-current electrical works to connect the installation to the stadium electrical network through transformer units. The main requirement is solar installation and solar panel roof-covering work, including the related electrical infrastructure. This is a construction works requirement for the buyer, London Stadium, and the physical delivery location is the stadium’s West Ham shop roof in London.

This procurement is at the planning stage: London Stadium has stated an intention to procure, but this record does not constitute an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to use an open procedure for a single lot covering the solar installation works. The estimated gross value is £371,000. The planned contract period is from 2 November 2026 to 1 February 2027. A capability assessment is scheduled for 27 August 2026 as part of preliminary market engagement. The project is below the applicable threshold. The published scope points to a ballast-mounted photovoltaic installation, inverters, cabling, containment and connection to the stadium network; the procurement will therefore require suppliers to consider both roof installation and electrical connection requirements.

The requirement is likely to suit solar installation contractors, electrical contractors with solar capability, and firms able to deliver a complete commercial rooftop photovoltaic installation. Relevant preparation should include experience installing ballast-mounted panels on flat roofs, sizing and installing photovoltaic inverters, routing cabling and containment, and carrying out AC connections into an operational stadium electrical network through transformer units. Businesses should be able to coordinate roof works with electrical design, testing and commissioning, and demonstrate safe delivery in a complex public venue. The buyer’s stated preference for standard panels rather than a membrane makes conventional solar PV installation experience particularly relevant. Firms considering the project should use the capability assessment to explain their technical approach, supply-chain capacity and comparable commercial or public-sector work.
