This procurement falls under the solar panel industry category and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom. The tender is active and follows an open procurement method, with a deadline for submissions set for 4th May 2022. The total value of the contract is £340,000, and the procurement includes the design and supply of a photovoltaic system to reduce reliance on Marine Gas Oil at the research station. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the renewable energy sector, particularly those with expertise in photovoltaic systems and compatibility with battery inverters. Companies that can deliver innovative and sustainable energy solutions will be well-positioned to compete for this contract, which aims to contribute to the British Antarctic Survey's commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions. Engaging in this procurement could enhance business growth while contributing positively to environmental sustainability efforts. ## Notice Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Comunication Instead of: he procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Cambridge:-Solar-panels./89M422BMY7 Read: he procurement documents are available for unrestricted and full direct access, free of charge, at: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Cambridge:-Solar-panels./4J2KKT2EG8 Other additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. To access this tender consisting of two lots, please use this access code: 4J2KKT2EG8 As part of The British Antarctic Survey's commitment to achieving Net Zero, there is a requirement to reduce the use of Marine Gas Oil (MGO) at all of its research stations. At present Bird Island Research Station's electricity is generated soley by 25kW three phase MGO generating sets (one operating and one on standby). This project is for the design and supply of a photovoltaic (PV) system covering the majority of suitable, existing roof space. The PV system must be compatible with SMA's grid forming battery inverters (Sunny Islands) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5933e6a-9757-4841-bfa9-6e32a036cd45 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 4 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 30 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £340,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | UK RESEARCH & INNOVATION | | Locality | CAMBRIDGE | | Post town | Cambridge | | Postcode | CB3 0ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH4 Cambridgeshire and Peterborough | | ITL 3 | TLH42 Cambridgeshire CC | | Local authority | Cambridge | | Electoral ward | Newnham | | Westminster constituency | Cambridge | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09331000 - Solar panels ## Release History - 23 Mar 2022 at 17:15 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5933e6a-9757-4841-bfa9-6e32a036cd45 - 23 Mar 2022 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5933e6a-9757-4841-bfa9-6e32a036cd45 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5933e6a-9757-4841-bfa9-6e32a036cd45 23rd March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=669151851 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Notice URLs - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Cambridge:-Solar-panels./4J2KKT2EG8 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Cambridge:-Solar-panels./89M422BMY7 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
