## Summary

Dorset Council is procuring the "PSDS Solar PV Extension" project, which aims to install solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays on up to 66 of its buildings throughout England, totalling a capacity of 3,870 kWp. The project is part of a broader initiative to reduce the Council's greenhouse gas emissions and is funded by the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. The procurement is at the award stage, with contract work scheduled to begin on 1st February 2022 and conclude by 31st March 2022. The total contract value is £3,300,000, and the open tender period concluded on 6th January 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth, particularly for SMEs specialising in solar energy installation and renewable technology. Companies adept in the installation of solar PV systems, electrical contracting, or environmental consultancy would find this contract particularly suited to their expertise. With up to 66 installations, businesses can potentially secure multiple assignments, contributing to their portfolio while supporting local government sustainability initiatives.

## Notice

The project is to install solar PV arrays of various sizes (25-250 kWp) on up to 66 Dorset Council buildings, totalling up to 3,870 kWp. The work forms part of a large programme of works across Dorset Councils building estate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its buildings, and is being funded by the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. Works need to be completed by 31 March 2022. The Council cannot commit to commissioning PV installation work on all of the sites listed in this tender. Work elsewhere in the PSDS programme (not completed at time of this tender) is likely to have a knock-on effect on the qualifying value for money and overall budget for this PV element of the programme. This may mean that some of the installations do not go ahead.
