The contract, valued at 8,968,483.92 GBP, is for a term of up to 25 years. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a submission deadline of June 19, 2023, and is open to businesses in the goods industry category located in the UK (region code UKK42). This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the renewable energy sector to partner with the Trust to supply electricity to Torbay Hospital, contributing to decarbonisation efforts. Companies capable of hosting a PV array close to the hospital for a direct private wire connection are well-suited to compete in this selective procurement process conducted through Competitive Dialogue. Interested parties need to comply with the Qualification stage criteria set out on the e-Tendering Portal with a bid validity period of 360 days. ## Notice Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust are seeking a Power Purchase Agreement to provide Torbay Hospital approximately 3.5GWh of electricity per annum through an off-site PV array via 'private wire' with a direct connection to the Trust's HV network at Torbay Hospital. Contract on offer for a term of up to 25 years. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Torbay and South Devon NHS Trust have identified through their Net Zero Carbon Roadmap a potential for significant renewable energy installation to supply the electrical demand at Torbay Hospital. The site currently uses circa 11GWh of electricity per annum with a significant base load. The electricity usage is also projected to increase as the heating systems move over to heat pump based systems. Demand and output modelling has shown that a solar PV array of approximately 3.2MWp production would make a significant contribution to the site electrical demand with limited times of electricity export. Due to restriction on site restrictions it is not feasible to house an array of 3.2MWp on site so the Trust are looking at solutions for an off-site provision. To contribute to the Trust's commitments to decarbonisation and reduce their gross emissions under mandatory reporting rules the off-site PV array will need to be 'private wire' with a direct connection to the Trust's HV network. In this way the electricity supply is 'behind the meter' and directly reduces grid imported electricity. The Trust are interested in hearing from parties that are able to host a PV array close enough to the site of Torbay Hospital to provide a direct private wire connection and contract with the Trust through a Power Purchase Agreement. The Trust are seeking to enter into a power purchase agreement for the purchase of approximately 3.5GWh of electricity per annum for a contract term of up to 25 years. The value of contract is estimated over 25 years and may be higher or lower dependant on the amount of energy provided, length of contract term and fluctuations in indices.
