## Summary

The Norwich City Council is seeking a contractor for the procurement of the design and installation of photovoltaic arrays for social housing properties, which aims to generate income and enhance energy efficiency. This project, classified under electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy, will affect approximately 15,000 homes in the East of England. The open procurement method allows for participation from various suppliers, and the tender period concluded on 19 June 2018, with contracts expected to commence on 23 July 2018 and run until 31 March 2020.

This procurement opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses specialising in renewable energy solutions, especially those with capabilities in solar panel installation and eco-retrofitting. Suppliers looking to engage in this project can contribute to reducing fuel poverty and the carbon footprint of the community while maximising the council's income potential through innovative energy solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the nature of the works involved and the council's commitment to inclusive procurement practices.

## Notice

This project is Income Generation for Norwich City Council NPSN, on behalf of the council manages the maintenance and repair of the social housing property portfolio that comprises of approx. 15,000 homes. In order to maintain the property stock in good condition it is necessary to undertake repairs and maintenance as appropriate. The council seeks to invest in eco retrofit solutions where appropriate. This work will be carried out in an effort to reduce our tenant's fuel poverty, assist in the reduction of the city's carbon footprint and increase individual property's standard assessment procedure (SAP) and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) scores. The council is looking to maximise its income potential by receiving a fixed annual income from the contractor for allowing the contractor to carry out this work. The council is looking for a supplier to design, install and commission PV to existing pitched roof housing units. A minimum of 1,000 properties have been identified as potential installation sites, with installation numbers projected to be in the region of 5,000 following a desktop survey undertaken by an external source some years ago. The contractor is to note that a list of identified properties will be provided post award; this list will act as a guide only and all properties listed are subject to change based upon survey, design, tenant liaison, the council's authorisation, and legal findings.
