## Summary

West Sussex County Council intends to establish a multi-supplier framework for operation and maintenance of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems. The services will cover reactive call-out visits, inspections, planned repairs and planned maintenance for rooftop-mounted solar PV systems, together with planned repairs and maintenance of domestic solar PV systems at applicable sites. This is an energy and related services requirement, including the practical maintenance and repair of renewable-energy installations. The work will support solar PV assets operated at sites covered by the council’s requirement across the South East of England, including West Sussex and neighbouring areas represented in the procurement. Suppliers should be able to work across multiple sites and provide both responsive attendance and scheduled inspection, repair and maintenance services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the council has announced its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The planned procurement is a four-year, multi-supplier framework. The expected contract period is from 14 December 2026 to 13 December 2030. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 28 September 2026. There is one planned lot covering the solar PV operation and maintenance services. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is for services. No budget, estimated contract value or financial ceiling is stated. The procurement record does not set out an evaluation basis or participation deadline at this planning stage.

This will suit solar PV operation and maintenance contractors, renewable-energy service businesses and specialist electrical or mechanical maintenance providers able to support a council-wide estate. Relevant capability includes responding to reactive call-outs, carrying out systematic inspections, diagnosing faults, completing planned repairs and maintaining both rooftop-mounted and domestic solar PV systems. Suppliers should be prepared to manage scheduled and unscheduled work across multiple applicable sites, coordinate attendance and maintain reliable service records. The framework model is intended to appoint more than one supplier, and the planned lot is expressly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Businesses with established field-service capacity, suitably experienced solar PV technicians and the ability to deliver both routine and responsive maintenance should monitor the procurement as it develops and prepare evidence of comparable work.

## Notice

WSCC require a contractor to carry out reactive call-out visits, a contractor to undertake all inspections, a supplier undertake planned repairs and maintenance of rooftop mounted solar PV systems and Supplier to undertake planned repairs and maintenance of its domestic systems on applicable sites. This is a 4 year multi supplier framework.
