## Summary

West Sussex County Council is conducting an open tender for the provision of sub-metering services, primarily focusing on meter reading services for its assets, such as rooftop solar PV systems and heat pumps, in the Chichester region (UKJ27). This procurement process, currently in the active tender stage, offers a contract valued at £200,000, with the tender period ending on 17 November 2023. The contract is set to commence on 1 March 2024 and run for a duration of five years and one month, potentially extending up to 31 March 2031 at the Council's discretion. Key deadlines include a bid opening date of 25 October 2023, and submissions must be made electronically or in writing, with a mandatory bid validity period of 90 days.

This tender creates a notable opportunity for businesses in the energy and meter reading sectors, particularly those focused on sustainable energy solutions and related services. SMEs, especially those offering innovative sub-metering technologies and robust data management capabilities, stand to benefit significantly from this contract. The project aims to monitor performance, prepare Feed-in Tariff payment claims, and manage billing processes effectively, making it ideal for companies with expertise in energy management and data analytics. Suppliers like Orsis Limited, which has previously been awarded similar contracts, exemplify the type of business well-suited to compete in this procurement process.

## Notice

West Sussex County Council (the Council) has a growing number of assets which require sub-metering for example: rooftop solar PV systems and heat pumps. The performance of these systems are measured using sub-meters and some sites also have meters installed to check the quantity of exported electricity (for solar PV systems). These readings are used to:

Monitor performance.
Prepare claims for Feed in Tariff payments; and
Prepare billing for building occupiers.

Having complete half hourly readings available on a day + 1 basis is an essential part of our asset management.
