## Summary

The Cornwall Council is currently engaged in the planning stage of the "Solar Framework" procurement process, aimed at sourcing suppliers for solar panels. This initiative, classified under the solar photovoltaic modules industry, has a total estimated value of £30 million and will be carried out in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Interested contractors are invited to participate in a bidder morning on 26th February 2020, from 9 am to 12 noon at Pydar House, Truro, where they can learn more about the framework and provide input. The feedback obtained during this event will inform the Council's plans to enter the market by early March 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the renewable energy sector, particularly those involved in the production, installation, and maintenance of solar panel systems. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the framework is designed to include various lots catering to different installation needs such as domestic, roof-mounted systems, and post-installation inspections. With a comprehensive introduction to the bidding process being offered, this is an ideal chance for businesses looking to expand their portfolios in the growing green energy market.

## Notice

Cornwall Council will be procuring a framework for the suppler of Solar Panels broken up into lots for Domestic, Roof Mounted 50kW, Ground Mounted and Post Installation Inspections. The Council will be holding a bidder morning with interested parties on the 26th February at 9am to 12noon at Pydar House, Truro. The aim of the day is to share with potential contractors our proposed framework, how we envisage it working, the method of deliver, etc. and encourage attendees to input into those plans. For those who haven't bid for above OJEU public sector contracts before we will also be offering a short introduction to the process and how it is implemented at the Council. Depending on the feedback received during the event it is our hope to go to market at the start of March.
