This project, classified under the "Solar installation" category, will occur in the West Midlands region of England. The tender process is currently active, with submissions due by 14th April 2021. The contract is expected to begin on 26th July 2021 and must be completed by 31st August 2021, ideally during the school holiday period in August to minimise disruption. Proposals should include solutions for low maintenance and environmental considerations in design. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in solar technology and installation, particularly those that can provide cost-effective, energy-efficient solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to compete, given the direct procurement method employed for this single tender action. Companies with expertise in developing sustainable energy solutions and those capable of delivering high-quality installation services will be well-suited to pursue this opportunity, potentially expanding their project portfolio within the public sector. ## Notice The proposed solar lighting project would see the supply and installation of solar lights from approximately 50m from the last existing 10m column on the roadway travelling south west from Pontesbury to Minsterley, a distance of 1.2km. It is estimated 30 lights will be needed. * The solar lights should be operated by PIR sensors to reduce energy consumption. * The lights should have fully programmable controllers for solar, battery and LED output management. * The lights should operate for 365 days per year from dusk to dawn. * Photovoltaic panels should be able to be adjusted to maximise solar energy. * We require low maintenance solutions with affordable replacement options for battery packs and heads * Columns should have universal fittings to ensure future proofing * Design should take account of the rural setting of the project and where possible minimise impact on nocturnal wildlife. Optimum time for works to take place would be during August whilst the schools are on holiday. The scheme must be completed for the start of the school term in September 2021. A single point of contact must be available from the point the contract is awarded to until satisfactory completion of the project. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c60fda1-7663-4339-81a4-b736f34729a3 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Single tender action (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2021 | | Submission deadline | 14 Apr 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jul 2021 - 31 Aug 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £45,000 | | 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 | SHROPSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHROPSHIRE | | Post town | Shrewsbury | | Postcode | SY5 0QA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG2 Shropshire and Staffordshire | | ITL 3 | TLG22 Shropshire | | Local authority | Shropshire | | Electoral ward | Rea Valley | | Westminster constituency | Shrewsbury | | Delivery location | TLG West Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09332000 - Solar installation ## Release History - 18 Mar 2021 at 13:59 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c60fda1-7663-4339-81a4-b736f34729a3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5c60fda1-7663-4339-81a4-b736f34729a3 18th March 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2f2ca738-7f02-4b9d-9866-b1ff0bbf3dd7 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
