UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Kesteven District Council procured solar photovoltaic installation works for public and commercial premises in Lincolnshire. The requirement covers supplying and fitting rooftop solar PV systems at the Waste & Street Scene Depot and seven adjacent industrial units at Scoley Court, Metheringham; 17 industrial units at Moorlands Trading Estate, Metheringham; six craft and retail workshops at Navigation Yard, Carre Street, Sleaford; and a shared array at St John’s Craft Workshops, Caistor Drive, Bracebridge Heath. The work includes solar panels, their installation and roof-covering works, associated electrical installation and related construction materials. Lincolnshire County Council provided procurement advice and support, while North Kesteven District Council is the buying organisation. The procurement was categorised as works and comprised one requirement covering all listed sites.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier, HPC plc, was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 3 September 2026, starts on 3 September 2026 and ends on 1 March 2027. Its gross value is £401,682.86. The published outcome identifies the award as active and the contract as active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The available outcome records the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or weighting for evaluation. The requirement was treated as below the applicable threshold, and the award covers solar installation works across the specified sites in Metheringham, Sleaford and Bracebridge Heath.

This award demonstrates demand from North Kesteven District Council for a contractor able to deliver multi-site rooftop solar installations across council-managed and commercial premises. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capability to survey varied roofs, design and supply suitable photovoltaic systems, coordinate installation across multiple buildings and complete associated electrical and roof-covering works. The scale calls for effective project management, site coordination and sufficient installation capacity to work across industrial units, workshops and a depot. Relevant technical competence, qualified electrical and solar installation staff, and experience delivering comparable public-sector or multi-site renewable-energy works would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale may be capable of undertaking the requirement.
