New installations shall not form part of this exercise. Since 2015 the Council has sought to improve the energy efficiency at its Premises and deliver on its environmental policies by installing solar panel systems Due to the systems being at different stages in their lifecycle, budget has been made available to procure a Suppler to provide an inspection, cleaning, servicing and maintenance over a 5 year period. The aim of the Service is to minimise downtime whilst maximising energy generation. The eventual Supplier must be able to provide support in the delivery of this objective. The anticipated spend is approximately PS25k to PS75k per annum. The Council's preferred procurement strategy is to contract with a single provider over a 5 year term. At this stage it is soft market test only and NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION",

The Council is intending to enter into Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with an energy off taker that maximises the benefit to the Council and that secures an income that would support the wider Council activities.
