## Summary

West Mercia Energy (WME) has recently completed its competitive procurement process to appoint suppliers to its open framework for the supply and installation of Solar PV. The procurement process, initiated through a tender, has reached the award stage, resulting in multiple contracts set to commence on 8th June 2026 and conclude by 28th June 2034. The overall value of this framework agreement is approximately £96 million, with a projected gross value of £8 million per awarded lot. This government-led initiative, aimed at enhancing energy efficiency in public sector buildings like schools and council facilities in various UK regions, underscores WME's commitment to contributing to the decarbonisation of the public sector.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for growth, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in solar energy, solar panel installation, and related rooftop works. The framework facilitates both further competition and direct award methods, offering flexibility for contractors to secure contracts through transparent, merit-based processes. The project targets diverse suppliers, enabling them access to public enterprise contracts across multiple regions such as the East Midlands, West Midlands, and beyond. Businesses poised to participate in sustainable energy solutions, with a focus on solar technologies, will find this framework particularly advantageous to expand their market presence and contribute to sustainable growth initiatives.

## Notice

WME is looking to receive applications from suppliers to join a multi supplier Open Framework to carry out energy efficiency improvement works in but not limited to any public sector buildings including Schools, Council buildings and Town Councils. It is envisaged that most of the works will be conducted on school buildings. In May 2024 WME awarded Barker Associates a single supplier framework for Decarbonisation Solutions for the education sector. This framework will broaden WME's decarbonisation services to cut energy use, improve building efficiency, and reach net zero. In establishing this framework, Barker Associates have supported WME with technical advice and support, including, but not limited to; providing support with drawing up the tender document, technical specifications and will support in subsequent tender evaluations. Once the framework has been established it is envisaged that Barker Associates will utilise the framework to call off contracts to support their work as our decarbonisation partner. This work will include preparation of ITT documents, supporting with clarification questions, offering technical support and evaluation of the competitive selection process. If the Contracting Authority wishes to utilise their own technical advisors, then the framework will permit that. During the first 12 months of the award of this framework. WME will only offer the fully managed procurement service to Contracting Authorities utilising Barker Associates consultancy services. This exclusion is designed to ensure any teething problems have been ironed out prior to expanding this service to other consultants/contractors.
