This project, recently updated on 2nd June 2025, falls within the solar energy industry category and is situated in postcode S65 1HP. Currently in the tender amendment stage, the procurement follows an open procedure similar to the Open Procedure under the Concession Contracts Regulations 2016. The tender process was initiated on 21st February 2025, and interested parties should note the deadline for tender submissions is set for 16th June 2025 at noon. With a contract starting on 1st September 2025 and extending over 15 years, this project involves significant private sector investment and is valued at £5.208 million excluding VAT. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the solar energy and EV infrastructure sectors, particularly those capable of handling projects requiring engineering works, construction, electrical installation, and site preparation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, given the council's inclusive procurement strategy. Generating an estimated £4.158 million in revenue from EV charging over the contract's lifespan, businesses experienced in infrastructure development, site management, or with a keen interest in expanding their portfolio in renewable and sustainable technologies will find this to be a promising opportunity for growth and market expansion. ## Notice The Council have been awarded a grant from the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI) Pilot fund to develop a Solar PV Canopy and connection infrastructure at Drummond Street Car Park. S65 1HP. This also requires private sector investment (minimum PS330,000 ex. vat) to install and run an EV Charging concession as part of the project. Drummond Street Car Park is a 240-space pay-and-display surface car park well used by commuters and shoppers. It is situated on the edge of Rotherham Town Centre, across the road from the central markets complex and has approximately 2000 households within a ten-minute walk time. The main town taxi rank is conveniently accessible from the car park and is approximately 200m away, as is the A630 with an annual average daily flow of 35,158 vehicles (2023). An initial Request for Information (RFI) related to this project was issued in March 2023 and the information provided was extremely helpful. More recently a second RFI was issued for further clarification from the market (Notice reference 2024/S 000-040487). The fixed budget for the Design & Build of the Solar PV Canopy is PS1,050,000 excluding VAT. Supplier minimum contribution for EV Infrastructure is PS330,000 excluding VAT. EV Charging revenue estimate for the proposed 15 year period is PS4.158M excluding VAT. Total value is PS5.208m excluding VAT, PS6.25M inclusive of VAT. The contract value has been calculated by reference to the potential revenue that the Council considers could be collected by the Concessionaire through the provision of the Services for the entire contract duration. However, the value of the Contract is ultimately dependent on the vagaries of the market and the above income figure does not carry any guarantee of value or volume of business over the contract term.
