This project aims to install a 600KWh solar array on a 10-acre piece of land, located west of the club’s premises. The open procurement procedure is classified under the CPV codes 09331000 (Solar panels) and 09332000 (Solar installation). The tender period closes on 25 October 2024 at 17:00 BST, with the contract period starting on 1 November 2024 and ending on 31 January 2025. The anticipated project value is between £600,000 and £700,000 GBP. This tender provides a significant business opportunity, particularly for companies specialising in solar energy installations and renewable energy solutions. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage this contract to showcase their capabilities in delivering sustainable energy projects, thereby enhancing their portfolio and credibility in the industry. By contributing to the club's ambitious Net Zero targets, businesses involved can gain exposure to future green energy projects and build long-term relationships with organisations committed to environmental sustainability. Companies adept in handling grant-funded projects would find this tender particularly fitting due to its funding structure. ## Notice The China Fleet Trust is a military charity whose origins stem from the original China Fleet Club in Hong Kong. The Trust owns the entirety of the enterprise and has a mixture of currently serving Royal Navy and business professionals, headed by the Chair of the Trustees. The Trust has one permanent member of staff on-site, the Chief Executive Office. The charity's objective is: For the public benefit the promotion of welfare of the armed forces by means of the provision of recreational and other leisure facilities for the beneficiaries. Our charity has a wholly owned trading subsidiary - China Fleet Country Club Ltd. As part of our charitable endeavours, the Club offers hotel accommodation, leisure facilities (including swimming pool, aqua spa, gym, racquet sports, fitness classes), health Spa & associated beauty treatments, golf course & TopTracer driving Range, Conference facilities, Food & beverage outlets, adventure golf course and a woodland nature trail. The ground mounted solar array is to be installed in the Club's spare 10-acre piece of land towards the West of the Club's 180-acre site. A cable run back to the HV connection at the Club will be run from the site, approximately 1 km away. The provision of this additional 600KWh solution will enable the Club to recognise its 50% reduction in Net Zero ambition earlier than anticipated by our decarbonisation policy. Reducing Carbon emissions by up to 140 tCO2e per year and when added to the provision already installed (400KWh) will help to produce over 1MWh of electricity on site annually. This would enable the Club to self-generate around 60% of its annual electrical energy need, shielding it from the turbulence of energy prices and ensuring the long-term viability of the Club. 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 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ecb7f7a-a5f0-4285-af69-f47de43c8b34 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Sep 2024 | | Submission deadline | 25 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2024 - 31 Jan 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £700,000 | | 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 | CHINA FLEET COUNTRY CLUB LIMITED | | Locality | SALTASH | | Post town | Plymouth | | Postcode | PL12 6LJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Saltash Tamar | | Westminster constituency | South East Cornwall | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09331000 - Solar panels - 09332000 - Solar installation ## Release History - 19 Sep 2024 at 10:56 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ecb7f7a-a5f0-4285-af69-f47de43c8b34 - 18 Sep 2024 at 09:38 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ecb7f7a-a5f0-4285-af69-f47de43c8b34 - 17 Sep 2024 at 17:11 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ecb7f7a-a5f0-4285-af69-f47de43c8b34 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6ecb7f7a-a5f0-4285-af69-f47de43c8b34 19th September 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/20c153ef-e7c5-4852-9919-6f5d0f6a2b0d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/236a8873-dac0-4a0e-935e-ed955f031906 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/69aac944-a996-4d4d-af77-bdad1fa8c06b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f5fb0cad-3d06-4600-9d42-4c716e57b9e5 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/07495d32-5f0f-41fc-aed1-b89cb4bb19d2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/03a8df86-79e1-480d-8897-fa3321ba7459 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/01a8058d-978a-4eb5-b22c-f0040d7fc9a0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/bb022300-becd-45f3-935a-1cf06292a59e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5f247bc1-3293-4fb0-9dbe-18d9276b7a8b - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/340b2d2a-28b4-4e94-affd-3f6f2fb2dc5d - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/02d436b7-0816-47a4-a331-efc675147212 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f00c5d4b-b455-414f-86fc-812125751217 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
