UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council is procuring works to install a wind turbine at the VENJ Heat Network site in Jarrow. The turbine will provide power to the heat network, with the appointed contractor also responsible for maintaining it for two years. This is a renewable-energy generation and mechanical or electrical installation requirement, with associated maintenance services. The work will be delivered in Jarrow, South Tyneside. The council is the public-sector buyer. The procurement is structured as a single lot and is intended for a contractor able to deliver the complete turbine installation and subsequent maintenance requirement. Businesses specialising in wind-power installation, renewable-energy infrastructure, turbine commissioning or related engineering maintenance are the most directly relevant.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to apply through a two-stage Competitive Flexible Procedure. This first stage requires applicants to complete and return the Procurement Specific Questionnaire by 12 noon on 5 October 2026; enquiries must be submitted by 11:59pm on 30 September 2026. Between five and seven applicants are expected to be shortlisted, with outcome letters intended by mid-October. Final tender documents are intended for issue in early November, with responses intended by the end of November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 25 January to 11 June 2027. Its estimated value is £1,200,000 excluding VAT, or £1,440,000 including VAT. Evaluation is on price, quality and social value, likely weighted at 60–80%, 20–55% and 7% respectively.

This opportunity suits an SME or larger contractor with the practical capability to install and commission a wind turbine for a heat-network site, then provide reliable maintenance for the required two-year period. Relevant suppliers are likely to have experience in wind-power installation works, renewable-energy projects, mechanical and electrical infrastructure, turbine testing and fault response. The requirement also favours businesses able to manage a complete installation project and demonstrate the quality of their proposed delivery approach during the selection and tender stages. Applicants should be prepared to evidence their suitability through the Procurement Specific Questionnaire before progressing to the final tender. Social value forms part of the evaluation, so bidders should be able to explain wider community or environmental benefits alongside their technical solution and price.
