The project, titled "GB-Rickmansworth: Design and Build of Solar Canopies," falls under the industry category of solar panels and related installations. The tender process is currently active, with a tender end date of 25th October 2024, and the contract period is scheduled from 28th November 2024 to 31st August 2025. The procurement method used is a restricted procedure, and expressions of interest are to be submitted in order to be shortlisted for further tendering stages. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in renewable energy installations to collaborate with local government and contribute to sustainable energy initiatives. It is particularly suitable for companies experienced in engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations, as the appointed contractor will be responsible for developing investment-grade business cases for solar canopy projects. Although the opportunity is not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, any business possessing the required qualifications and experience in solar energy and related design and installation can gain substantial growth potential through this project. ## Notice Expressions of Interest (EOI) are invited for the design, supply, and installation of solar canopies in council owned car parks in Three Rivers. The purpose of this EOI is to: 1.Test the market for contractors that have experience of designing, suppling and installing solar canopies. 2.Identify a short-list of contractors that will be invited to propose (through a tender exercise) how they would support the council to develop investment-grade business cases for solar canopy projects. The appointed contractor will initially be tasked with fully designing and costing the solar canopies for the car park(s) identified as most feasible (because the feasibility study is based on a candidate solar canopy design and outline costs). Stage 2 of the Community Energy Fund provides up to PS100k to develop investment-grade business cases. The full design (or sourcing) and accurate costing of the solar canopies will be a key element of creating those businesses case(s). Therefore, the council wishes to initially appoint a contractor to help develop the business cases, using the feasibility study information. Please review the attached Expression of Interest which provides full details of the scheme. The Council is using this advert to shortlist for either Stage 1 or Stage 2 (or both) elements of the scheme. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62982a3b-6622-4f96-83b2-b02afdfa9f7a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Nov 2024 - 31 Aug 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THREE RIVERS DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | RICKMANSWORTH | | Post town | Watford | | Postcode | WD3 1RL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH2 Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLH27 South West Hertfordshire | | Local authority | Three Rivers | | Electoral ward | Rickmansworth Town | | Westminster constituency | South West Hertfordshire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09330000 - Solar energy - 09331000 - Solar panels - 09332000 - Solar installation - 71321000 - Engineering design services for mechanical and electrical installations for buildings ## Release History - 26 Sep 2024 at 13:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62982a3b-6622-4f96-83b2-b02afdfa9f7a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/62982a3b-6622-4f96-83b2-b02afdfa9f7a 26th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Rickmansworth:-Design-and-Build-of-Solar-Canopies/RXYAS6G55G Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
