## Summary

The Borough of Telford & Wrekin has completed the procurement process titled "Wheat Leasows Solar Farm - Rectification and Operation & Maintenance," addressing the aftermath of a cable theft incident and ongoing operational needs.

The open procurement method allows for competitive bidding, benefiting companies that can deliver quality service at competitive prices while contributing to social value, a crucial evaluation criterion for this tender.
