The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a tender deadline of 14th May 2024 and a contract period starting from 10th June 2024 to 31st July 2024. The procurement falls under the industry category of works and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the South West region. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in solar panel and energy storage solutions to compete. With a contract value of £55,000, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to participate. Interested parties should note that the procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender will be assessed based on the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT) criteria set by the buyer, FENTENFENNA FARM CIC, to ensure long-term financial and energy resilience for the farm's operations. ## Notice Fentenfenna Farm was established in 2020 to support Cornwall's rural economy through the provision of space for new entrants into the agri-food sector. The farm has three operating platforms: a rural enterprise hub, a food skills training centre, and a food hub. The goal of the farm is to support micro and small regenerative agri-food enterprises, deliver food skills training, and provide food aid to the community. The Fentenfenna Farm Food Hub exists to contribute towards a resilient food system for Cornwall. It does this in two ways: by providing a food storage and logistics solution for Mid-Cornwall that supports local producers, wholesale customers, and community organisations, and by combining salvaged waste food with organically grown local produce to create high nutrient density products for donation and retail. The Food Hub's primary function is to provide food aid to those most in need by salvaging waste food, packing it, and distributing it to community partners. As part of this exciting venture, we are seeking to install a 50kw solar array, with 24 kw of battery storage to ensure long term financial and energy resilience. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6c0b1dd8-7157-4af7-a4c9-4115eee5698c | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 14 May 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Jun 2024 - 31 Jul 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £55,000 | | 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 | FENTENFENNA FARM CIC | | Locality | ST.
