## Summary

The Priory Federation of Academies is seeking tenders for the installation of solar panels across five academy sites, with a total project value of £200,000 and a minimum value of £48,000. This procurement falls under the classification of electrical machinery and lighting, specifically identified by the CPV code 31000000. The procurement method is selective, utilising a restricted procedure due to exceeding the threshold. The tender period is set to close on 16 August 2019, while the contract period is expected to commence on 2 March 2020 and conclude by 30 June 2020. Four of the sites are located in Lincolnshire and one in Nottinghamshire, within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the renewable energy sector, particularly those specialising in solar energy installation and electrical works. Companies aiming to expand their operations in academia, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The partial funding from the European Union Regional Development Fund, as part of the Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire initiative, further underscores the project’s potential for sustainable growth and investment in green technologies.
