This tender, classified under the industry category of repair and maintenance services (CPV: 50000000), aims to manage and maintain over 7,700 domestic and 64 corporate solar PV assets owned by Peterborough City Council (PCC). The services are required across four geographical lots: Northeast (Newcastle, Durham, and Sunderland), Central (Doncaster, Scunthorpe, and Stockport), Peterborough (including Boston, Corby, and Northampton), and Southeast (Gravesend). The contract term is set for 2 years, with an option to extend by one year twice, totaling up to 4 years. The procurement method is open with electronic submission, and the tender period ends on 24 March 2025, at 12:00 PM, followed by the award period commencing immediately after. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in solar panel maintenance and repairs, particularly those certified under ISO 9001:2015 and the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). The contract involves not only troubleshooting and resolving issues detected via remote monitoring systems but also potentially conducting annual inspections for corporate sites. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger firms with expertise in solar energy maintenance, customer service management, and quality control will find this tender highly suitable. The geographical distribution of assets across multiple regions allows firms with local knowledge and presence in these areas to leverage their capabilities efficiently. ## Notice Peterborough Limited's Energy Services Team are responsible for managing, maintaining and co-ordinating Peterborough City Council's (PCC) solar photovoltaic (PV) assets.
