The procurement is within the solar energy industry category and is specifically classified under solar panels and photovoltaic modules. The procurement method chosen is an open procedure, and the tender is currently in the active stage. Interested parties must submit their tenders by 12:00 PM on 26th August 2025. The contract period is expected to run from 1st September 2025 to 28th November 2025, with the delivery location specified as East Midlands, United Kingdom. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in solar energy installations, particularly those with experience in photovoltaic systems and roofing work. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could find this opportunity particularly beneficial due to the open procedure, which is below the threshold, making it competitive yet accessible. The project aligns with the growing demand for sustainable energy solutions, providing potential for business growth in the renewable energy sector. Businesses with the capability to offer comprehensive solar solutions, including battery and emergency power systems, will be well-suited to compete for this contract. ## Notice This invitation to tender sets out Highfield Centre's requirements for a suitable Contractor to supply and install solar panels, inverters, battery storage and mansafe system to perimeter of roof. Background: There are currently no solar panels installed on the roof.
