Summary of the contracting process

South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust is buying solar photovoltaic installation works for Warwick and Stratford Hospitals. The projects are funded by Great British Energy and are to be delivered through the Trust’s wholly owned subsidiary, SWFT Clinical Services Ltd. The work covers solar installations at two hospital sites in Warwickshire, including solar panels and roof-covering work. This is a renewable-energy construction requirement for suppliers able to install solar PV on healthcare buildings.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Carbon3 was selected from two bidders. The award was made on 22 October 2026, at £477,878 excluding VAT (£573,453.60 including VAT). The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was treated as a single lot. The award is active, and a contract signature was scheduled for 29 October 2026. The supplied information identifies the work and award outcome but does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

The award demonstrates demand from South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust for solar PV installation at hospital sites, delivered through its subsidiary and supported by Great British Energy funding. A future credible supplier would need to deliver solar installations and associated roof-covering work across more than one healthcare site within a defined delivery programme. The competition attracted two bidders, both of them SMEs, and the selected supplier, Carbon3, is also an SME; this shows that a smaller specialist contractor competed successfully for this scale of works. Relevant capability includes coordinating installation across operational hospital locations and completing roof-mounted solar works. The procurement route was limited competition below the applicable threshold.
