## Summary

The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead commissioned the installation of solar photovoltaic arrays at three schools. This is a works requirement covering solar panels, solar installation and associated solar panel roof-covering work. The project is intended for school buildings within the authority’s area, with the recorded delivery area being the UKJ1 region. The buying organisation is the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, a sub-central public authority. The requirement combines renewable-energy equipment supply with practical installation and roofing works, so it is relevant to contractors able to survey school premises, install roof-mounted solar arrays and complete associated building works safely and in accordance with the project specifications.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Powercor, an SME. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £213,563.33 excluding VAT, or £256,275.97 including VAT. The award covers the solar-array installation works at all three schools. The recorded contract status is active. The award route means suppliers were not evaluated through a competitive tender for this procurement; the published outcome identifies the selected contractor and the agreed contract value for the works.

This procurement is useful market evidence for solar PV contractors and building-services firms that combine renewable-energy installation with roof-covering or related construction work. It shows a local authority buying a multi-site school installation as a single works package, at a substantial but below-threshold scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need the practical capacity to coordinate surveys, equipment, installation and completion across several education sites, while managing roof interfaces and working safely in occupied public buildings. Experience delivering solar arrays for public-sector or education clients would help demonstrate an understanding of site coordination, safeguarding, access, disruption and handover requirements. The procurement also shows that this buyer has used a direct, non-competitive route for this type of work.
