Summary of the contracting process

Cardiff Council, on behalf of several local authorities in South East Wales, is planning a tender for a collective solar photovoltaic (PV) purchasing scheme to support climate emergency and decarbonisation efforts. Participating authorities include Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, and Vale of Glamorgan. The procurement, currently in the planning stage as of 13 November 2024, focuses on environmental protection and aims to facilitate the purchase and installation of PV arrays, battery storage, and EV chargers at affordable costs. The total contract value is expected to be £40,000, with key documentation published and further communication anticipated by 1 March 2025.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in renewable energy solutions, particularly those with expertise in solar PV systems, energy storage, and electric vehicle infrastructure. Accredited installers with robust customer service capabilities and regional capacity for rollout will find this opportunity particularly suitable. Additionally, companies capable of providing comprehensive project data and coordination services to support regional authorities in their decarbonisation goals are well-positioned to benefit from this initiative, fostering environmental sustainability and expanding their market presence in South East Wales.
