Summary of the contracting process

Hillcrest procured the supply of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems and associated materials for use across its residential housing stock. The requirement covers PV systems, battery storage, mounting systems and related electrical components, together with related services and support. Hillcrest’s own operatives will install the equipment at residential properties in Dundee, Angus and Perthshire. The procurement is for goods, with the stated purpose of expanding existing installed PV systems, standardising equipment across the housing estate, and ensuring compatibility with current maintenance, monitoring and operational arrangements. The relevant classification is solar panels (CPV 09331000). Hillcrest, a public-law housing organisation based in Dundee, is the buying organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a single lot and an open procedure. Hillcrest awarded the lot to Edmundson Electrical Ltd. The awarded contract value is £284,177 including the stated currency of GBP, against an estimated procurement value of £300,000 GBP. The award period began on 9 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 7 July 2026. The contract period is 270 days. Five electronic bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Variants were not allowed, bids had to remain valid for 90 days, and submissions had to be in English. The contract provides for electronic payment and ordering, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a housing provider for solar generation equipment and associated electrical infrastructure across a residential estate. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to supply compatible PV systems, battery storage, mounting equipment and electrical components as a coordinated package, while supporting installation by the buyer’s own operatives. Credibility would also depend on understanding the practical requirements of expanding an existing installed base: equipment standardisation, compatibility with current maintenance and monitoring arrangements, and dependable operational support. The awarded supplier was a large electrical distributor, while the competition included an SME, indicating that both substantial supply capacity and smaller specialist participation can be relevant. A strong quality submission would be important alongside competitive pricing.
