## Summary

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Combined Fire Authority procured works to install photovoltaic panels at Oakham fire station. The requirement is a building installation project focused on solar PV panel installation, with the work delivered at the fire station in Oakham, Leicestershire. The buyer is a combined fire authority serving Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. This is a single-site public-sector renewable energy installation rather than a wider programme covering multiple stations or locations. Businesses relevant to this requirement are contractors able to provide and install photovoltaic systems as building installation works, particularly for operational fire and emergency-service premises. The named buyer is responsible for the procurement and will use the completed installation at Oakham fire station.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. FUSION 360 GROUP LTD was awarded the contract on 28 July 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract period ran from 28 July 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value was £39,990.47 excluding VAT, or £47,988.56 including VAT. The contract was active at the recorded stage. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route, with the procurement classified as works. The selected supplier is a Leicester-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract covered installation works for photovoltaic panels at Oakham fire station.

This award is evidence that the fire authority purchases practical renewable-energy installation works for its operational estate, using a below-threshold limited competition rather than an open tender. A future competitor would need a credible ability to install photovoltaic panels as building works at a live fire-station site, with the organisation, supervision and technical capacity to complete a small, tightly defined single-site project. Relevant firms are likely to be solar PV or electrical installation contractors able to work safely around emergency-service operations and coordinate delivery with a public-sector client. The award to an SME indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business, rather than necessarily requiring the resources of a national contractor. Experience of comparable public or operational premises would strengthen credibility when this buyer next assesses similar work.
