UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council commissioned solar photovoltaic works at Ysgol Garth Olwg. The requirement concerns installing solar PV at the school, combining construction work with energy-related services. The work is delivered in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales. This is a school-specific renewable-energy project, rather than a general energy supply contract, and is most relevant to contractors able to deliver solar installations in educational settings. The published scope identifies the project and site but does not describe system capacity, panel quantities or detailed technical specifications.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to GMI Electrical Ltd. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The award is active and the contract is also active. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026, with a contract period from 22 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £134,615.26 excluding VAT, or £161,538.31 including VAT. The procurement data does not state a separate award date or describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be reported.

For businesses considering similar work for Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for school-based solar PV installation delivered through a limited competition. A credible competitor would need to undertake construction and energy-related work and deliver a solar installation at an operational school site. The selected supplier, GMI Electrical Ltd, provides a benchmark of the type and scale of provider that secured the contract, although its specific technical credentials and delivery capacity are not described. Solar contractors with relevant installation capability and experience coordinating works in school environments are the closest fit to this requirement; broader energy services alone would not match the project as closely.
