## Summary

The public procurement process for installing photovoltaic solar panels has been completed by the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, located in Exeter, United Kingdom. The initiative is part of the Trust's commitment to the NHS net zero carbon target, aiming to reduce emissions and electricity costs for its facilities. This project, divided into five lots, will provide solar PV systems across five sites: Tiverton, Falmouth, Frome, Dorchester, and Falfield (including battery storage). Funded by the Great British Energy Solar Partnerships Programme (NHS), the procurement process followed an open competition method and concluded with an awarded contract to Bright Spark Energy Solutions Limited. The contract, valued at approximately £176,253.00, commenced on 22nd October 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31st March 2026.

This procurement project presents significant opportunities for SMEs involved in renewable energy, particularly those specialising in solar panel installations. By participating, businesses can position themselves as key contributors to the NHS's sustainability goals, enhancing their market reputation. The focus on solar panel work creates possibilities for firms with expertise in this area to showcase their technical capabilities and support the transition to greener energy solutions. Companies interested in growth should note the open competition procurement method, which provides a fair chance for multiple suppliers to bid for projects like the solar panel installations at the mentioned locations.

## Notice

The Trust is working towards the NHS net zero carbon target and its own green plan to achieve a service that has a reduced environmental impact. Solar PV will support the reduction in emissions linked to energy use from our estate as well as reducing overall electricity spend and providing the security of generating our own electricity. SWASFT has been awarded funding from the Great British Energy Solar Partnerships Programme (NHS) (previously NEEF) to deliver solar PV systems at five sites during 2025/2026. There is limited solar PV across the Trusts premises and this project will aid the Trust in meeting the carbon reduction targets against the Trusts annual electricity use of more than 4,500,000 kWh. The aim of the project is to install solar PV at five Trust sites to reduce the Trusts emissions and cost from electricity. Great British Energy Solar Partnerships Programme (NHS) funding has been awarded for each site. Each site requires a solar PV system; the only exception is Falfield which also requires a battery storage solution too. Lots: Lot 1- Tiverton * Lot 2- Falmouth * Lot 3- Frome * Lot 4- Dorchester * Lot 5- Falfield (including battery storage)
