The work covers reactive call-out visits, inspections, and planned repairs and maintenance. This is solar PV maintenance and repair services, rather than a purchase of new panels or a construction project. Delivery is associated with sites in West Sussex and the South East and South West of England. The requirement is arranged as a four-year, multi-supplier framework, so it is intended to appoint more than one contractor across the maintenance work. Suppliers whose operations cover the relevant sites and who can deliver solar system servicing, fault response and repair work may find the scope relevant. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 13 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC. The contract period is set to run from 4 January 2027 to 3 January 2031. The framework has an estimated value of £2,520,000 and is described as a four-year, multi-supplier arrangement. The tender description separates the requirement into reactive call-out visits, inspections, planned repairs and maintenance of rooftop systems, and planned repairs and maintenance of domestic systems at applicable sites; it does not publish formal lot divisions. The data gives no enquiry deadline or evaluation criteria. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable to participate. This opportunity suits solar PV operations and maintenance contractors able to organise both reactive attendance and scheduled work across a geographically spread set of sites. Suppliers will need the practical capability to inspect rooftop-mounted systems, diagnose faults, carry out repairs and maintain domestic solar installations as well as rooftop arrays. The multi-supplier framework offers a route for more than one provider to deliver these service strands, which may suit firms with specialist teams or regional coverage rather than a single contractor carrying out every task. The Council identifies small and medium-sized enterprises as suitable, indicating that smaller providers may compete. The tender data does not state required accreditations, minimum staffing levels, specific experience thresholds or technical standards, so the explicit requirement is the ability to provide the described call-out, inspection, repair and maintenance services. ## Notice WSCC require a contractor to carry out reactive call-out visits, a contractor to undertake all inspections, a supplier undertake planned repairs and maintenance of rooftop mounted solar PV systems and Supplier to undertake planned repairs and maintenance of its domestic systems on applicable sites. This is a 4 year multi supplier framework. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2e7a8151-800c-4d24-8056-615661b46405 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jan 2027 - 3 Jan 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,520,000 | | 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 | West Sussex County Council | | Locality | CHICHESTER | | Postcode area | Portsmouth | | Postcode | PO19 1RQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ27 West Sussex (South West) | | Local authority | Chichester | | Electoral ward | Chichester Central | | Westminster constituency | Chichester | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45261215 - Solar panel roof-covering work ## Release History - 16 Oct 2026 at 14:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2e7a8151-800c-4d24-8056-615661b46405 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2e7a8151-800c-4d24-8056-615661b46405 16th October 2026 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
