## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Residential Solar PV - Soft Market Test," which focuses on the installation of solar panels across its social housing portfolio. The engagement end date for interested parties to express their interest is set for 11 February 2022. This initiative falls within the solar panel industry category, aiming to enhance local energy generation and reduce carbon emissions significantly in the borough.

This soft market test presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in solar energy solutions, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies well-versed in solar panel installation and renewable energy strategies are encouraged to participate in the engagement process. This could lead to potential future procurement contracts as part of Hackney Council's strategy for sustainable energy initiatives, paving the way for growth in the local renewable energy market.

## Notice

Since declaring Climate Emergency in 2019, Hackney Council has rapidly progressed their work on increasing local energy generation. Council owned a large social housing portfolio, with the vast majority of large, clean roof spaces. The Council is looking to engage with the market to work on the optimal option to cover the roof spaces with solar panels and at scale increase the local generation, by utilising Council assets, and significantly reduce carbon emissions in the borough. Council is looking to meet with the interested parties to talk about potential opportunities for solar panels installation across the social housing stock, in preparation for deliverable strategy and programmes of work. Interested parties are invited to express an interest via the London Tenders Portal. Data from a recent feasibility study is provided to inform discussions. Please note this is a soft market test and not a call for competition. If the Council wishes to procure a contract, a further notice will be placed at a later date.
