## Summary

The Government Property Agency (GPA) has awarded a contract to City Electrical Factors Limited for the supply of solar photovoltaic panels. These panels will be provided to GPA-managed buildings throughout the UK government estate. The procurement process, classified under the industry category of "Solar panels," was conducted through the Crown Commercial Services RM6313 Demand Management & Renewables Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), utilising a selective procurement method. The procurement stage represented in this document is "award," and the contract is valued at £3,000,000, VAT inclusive, with a contract period from 7th August 2025 to 6th August 2027. This contract allows other UK government departments to place orders with GPA's prior agreement.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for suppliers in the renewable energy and electrical sectors, with the potential for substantial project workload and revenue generation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focused on the provision and supply chain transparency of solar technology components would be well-suited to compete, especially those with an interest in contributing to renewable energy initiatives and compliance with modern slavery risk management criteria. Adherence to ethical trade audits and supply chain visibility ensures alignment with government compliance requirements, offering businesses a platform to showcase their commitment to sustainability and ethical practices.
