Summary of the contracting process

Fife College procured an off-grid power system for a teaching cabin at its Dunfermline City Campus. The work covered delivery, installation, hire, dismantling and collection of the power supply, together with associated works. The cabin’s energy system combines solar panels, wind turbines, battery storage and a generator. It also includes remote, real-time access to system data so College staff can use it for student lessons. This is a combined equipment and service requirement, centred on supplying and operating renewable and backup power for an off-grid educational facility in Dunfermline.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Fife College used a limited procedure without publishing a prior competition, citing market engagement that found no reasonable local alternative; it also reported one compliant quote. The recorded bid statistics show two bids received. Wernick Power Solutions was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 13 October 2026. Its value is £79,447.16. No award date or contract period is recorded. The contract covered delivery, installation, hire, dismantling and collection of the off-grid power equipment, with associated works and remote data access. The procurement records one lot and no evaluation criteria.

For future requirements of this kind at Fife College, credible suppliers would need to deliver an integrated off-grid energy solution rather than equipment alone. Relevant capability includes combining solar PV, wind generation, battery storage and generator backup; installing and removing the system; and providing hire and collection services. Suppliers should also be able to provide reliable remote, real-time system data that can support teaching and analysis, alongside the necessary campus works. The selected supplier demonstrates that the requirement was met by a power-solutions provider. The College’s stated rationale points to the importance of demonstrating a technically suitable offer in a market where it identified no reasonable local alternative. The project is a single-campus educational installation, not a large multi-site energy programme.
