UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned solar photovoltaic installation works at Locks Heath Keystone. The scope is to design and install a new solar PV system and connect it to the building; the work is described as involving a subcontractor. The procurement is categorised as electrical installation work. Delivery is in Hampshire, in the South East of England. This is a building-focused renewable-energy installation rather than a general solar supply opportunity: relevant businesses would need to deliver the system design and installation and make the connection to the existing building.

The procurement is complete and awarded to VENTRO LTD. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 16 to 20 November 2026. Its stated value is £15,000 excluding VAT (£18,000 including VAT). It comprised one lot. Hampshire County Council used a selective route, making the award under a framework; the process was not competitive. The recorded award is active, and the contract is active. The award date is not stated separately from the contract-signing date, so the signing date is given here as the confirmed event. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers tracking Hampshire County Council’s building energy work, this award is evidence of demand for a small, site-specific solar PV installation, including design, installation and connection into an existing building. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show practical capability across those linked tasks and be able to coordinate effectively with a subcontractor where needed. The council used a framework route for this award, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be positioned to participate through the relevant framework rather than relying on an open competition. The awarded supplier is a small business, demonstrating that this scale of installation can be delivered by an SME. The opportunity is most relevant to electrical installation and solar PV contractors with building-connection experience.
