The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract period starting on August 12 and ending on October 31, 2024. The tender deadline is July 26, 2024, with a contract value of £170,000. The project falls under the works category and is suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender for the Truro School Solar Panel System presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the renewable energy sector, especially those involved in solar panel installation. Companies looking to contribute to sustainability initiatives and work within the education sector may find this contract particularly suitable. By participating in this procurement process, businesses can support the school's transition to net zero emissions and potentially expand their portfolio of environmentally friendly projects.

## Notice

Truro School is a coeducational private boarding and day school located in the city of Truro, Cornwall. It is the largest coeducational independent school in Cornwall with over 1050 pupils from pre-prep to sixth form. Truro School has an Estate Decarbonisation Plan in place and is working towards its ambition to be net zero by 2040. There are already a number of PV arrays installed at the school and this system will be a significant investment in the journey to net zero. The purchase of this system is part of a grant funded application process and therefore procurement will be subject to grant approval of the project. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
