This initiative is part of the GMCA 374 - FC036 Salford CC Solar PV Programme for the financial year 2025/26, designed to aid local authorities in achieving sustainability goals by reducing carbon emissions through on-site solar energy generation. This falls within the industry category for installation services, valued at £845,900. The contract was awarded to NPS Energy Limited, a large-scale supplier, under a restricted procedure, and the procurement method was selective. The contract period commenced on 14th November 2025, concluding on 31st March 2026, after the tender period which ended on 15th August 2025. This project allows flexibility in site selection to accommodate roof condition assessments and requisite approvals. This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth in the renewable energy sector, focusing on companies specialising in certified solar photovoltaic installations. The programme's emphasis on sustainability through reducing grid electricity consumption is in alignment with growing government and commercial interests, presenting well-suited business opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) capable of meeting the microgeneration certification scheme requirements. Additionally, businesses offering innovative solutions for managing energy consumption and addressing installations on varying roof conditions may find this tender appealing. Companies looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts, particularly those with expertise in energy management and sustainability, will find this project to be an advantageous opportunity to display quality services and product options. ## Notice Local authorities and public sector bodies continue to be tasked with making savings and reducing their carbon emissions, as well as being committed to sustainability and energy management. Solar photovoltaic technology would assist Salford City Council to achieve a reduction in grid electricity consumption and more importantly reduce its carbon emissions levels via on-site generation. Salford City Council is seeking to procure a contractor to undertake the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of solar photovoltaic systems on the roofs of up to 8 council buildings and 1 local authority school. The photovoltaic system installer and products used shall be certified by the microgeneration certification scheme (MCS). The photovoltaic installer shall provide proof of certification as part of the tender return. Whilst it is intended that works be carried out in a single stage for all sites, this may be separated into two stages, should the roof condition surveys identify any major roof integrity issues. Any sites identified as requiring re-roof works will be moved into stage 2 to allow the works to be carried out first. In either case, installations will only commence once grid offers from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and any associated prior approvals from planning are received for the respective sites. The fixed price contract will include the design, supply, installation, setting to work, testing and commissioning of the photovoltaic systems and installations as defined within this specification on the proposed roof tops of the following buildings, as detailed in Annex A. 1.

Riverview Primary School, 1 Wheaters Street, Salford, M7 1QZ Whilst it is the intention that PV systems will be installed at all 9 locations, Salford City Council reserves the right to omit any number of sites or add additional sites during the contract period. For this reason, contractor is asked to price for each site separately. These values will be used to value any contract variations. If other sites are added there is an expectation that these will be priced using the same price structure. A change control process will be in place and all changes treated as contract variations and administered accordingly. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0e83392-1d32-4fe0-8686-c40f18c97cbf | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 15 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 Nov 2025 | | Contract period | 14 Nov 2025 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £845,900 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £845,900 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | NPS ENERGY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 51000000 - Installation services (except software) ## Release History - 3 Dec 2025 at 10:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0e83392-1d32-4fe0-8686-c40f18c97cbf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d0e83392-1d32-4fe0-8686-c40f18c97cbf 3rd December 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
