UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Huntingdonshire District Council is procuring roof-mounted solar panels for installation at its head office, Pathfinder House in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. The requirement covers the supply and installation of the panels, together with the connectivity needed to monitor energy production through either SolarEdge or SolisCloud. This is an installation and associated connectivity service within the wider building-energy and renewable-energy market. The work is for a council headquarters rather than a distributed estate, so suppliers should be able to survey, design and deliver a complete rooftop solar installation at a single public-sector site. The council is the buying organisation and will use the resulting system to generate and view electricity-production data.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 9 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £70,000 excluding VAT and £84,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on quality at 50%, payback at 40% and production rating at 10%. Electronic submission is allowed. Participation is reserved for UK-based small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits solar photovoltaic contractors able to provide an end-to-end rooftop installation, from equipment supply and installation through to communications setup and production monitoring. Suppliers should have practical experience designing and installing roof-mounted solar systems, connecting monitoring equipment and configuring SolarEdge or SolisCloud access. The evaluation gives substantial weight to quality, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a sound delivery approach, reliable equipment, installation workmanship and effective handover. Payback and production rating also matter, favouring businesses able to model expected generation, explain financial returns and support credible performance estimates. The contract is reserved for UK-based SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it particularly relevant to suitably experienced smaller renewable-energy and electrical-installation firms.
