## Summary

The London Borough of Hackney is planning a new procurement process titled "Residential Solar PV - Soft Market Test", aimed at the solar panel industry. This initiative is part of the council's commitment to increase local energy generation and reduce carbon emissions across its social housing portfolio. Interested suppliers have until 1st June 2022 to express their interest via the London Tenders Portal, following a recent feasibility study that guides discussions on potential installations. The procurement phase is currently in the planning stage and will evolve as further notices are anticipated.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in solar energy solutions, particularly those specialising in solar panel installation and related services. Companies capable of implementing sustainable energy projects and effective collaboration with local authorities will find this a suitable venture. With the emphasis on large-scale solar panel deployment, businesses that can demonstrate innovation in renewable energy solutions and efficiency in project execution are encouraged to participate in the upcoming processes.

## Notice

Since declaring Climate Emergency in 2019, Hackney Council has rapidly progressed their work on increasing local energy generation. Council owned a large social housing portfolio, with the vast majority of large, clean roof spaces. The Council is looking to engage with the market to work on the optimal option to cover the roof spaces with solar panels and at scale increase the local generation, by utilising Council assets, and significantly reduce carbon emissions in the borough. Hackney Council is looking to meet with the interested parties to talk about potential opportunities for solar panels installation across the social housing stock, in preparation for deliverable strategy and programmes of work. Potential providers are invited to express an interest via the London Tenders Portal. Data from a recent feasibility study is provided for information and to inform discussions. Please note this is a soft market test and not a call for competition. If the Council seeks to procure a contract a further notice will be placed at a later date.
