## Summary

The London Borough of Harrow procured services to facilitate and promote the Switch Together group-buying scheme for domestic solar photovoltaic installations. The scheme helps Harrow residents access competitively priced solar installation services through collective purchasing. The appointed service provider sources installers through a competitive process and ensures they are appropriately accredited to deliver the installations. Residents participate voluntarily and contract directly with the appointed installers; Harrow’s role is to promote the scheme and encourage participation rather than provide or buy the installations itself. The initiative supports the council’s environmental objectives by helping residents adopt renewable energy and contribute to local carbon reduction. Delivery is across the London Borough of Harrow, within the United Kingdom.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. ICHOOSR LIMITED was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 7 July 2026 to 6 July 2030. Its value is £65,000 excluding VAT, or £78,000 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated and arranged as a service for energy and related services, covering the operation and promotion of the solar group-buying scheme rather than the installation work itself. The procurement therefore concerns a council-supported resident access and supplier-management service, with installers appointed through iChoosr’s own competitive process.

This award shows demand from Harrow for a specialist intermediary able to turn household demand for solar PV into a coordinated group-buying programme. A credible future competitor would need experience designing and promoting resident-facing energy schemes, managing voluntary participation and supporting direct customer contracts with installers. It would also need to run a robust process for identifying, assessing and coordinating appropriately accredited solar installation providers, while maintaining commercially competitive offers. Useful capability includes stakeholder engagement with a local authority, clear communications to residents, supplier and installer management, and practical oversight of the customer journey from scheme promotion through to installation arrangements. The scale is a multi-year borough-wide service focused on renewable-energy uptake rather than direct construction delivery.
