## Summary

Chichester College Group is seeking a supplier to provide a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic array funded through a power purchase agreement, with an option for battery energy storage. The project is intended for Haywards Heath College and supports the college’s programme to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency, aligned with the Association of Colleges Carbon Neutral Agenda. The requirement is a services contract covering energy-management and related energy services. It is relevant to businesses that can design, finance, install and support solar PV systems for an educational site, particularly those able to offer a PPA funding model and assess or provide battery storage. The work will be delivered at Haywards Heath College in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has reached tender: Chichester College Group invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and electronic tenders were due by 7 October 2026 at 12:00. The evaluation and award period was scheduled to conclude by 1 April 2027 at 23:59. The single contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2047. Its estimated value is £900,000 excluding VAT, or £1,080,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on the commercial offer at 65%, battery energy storage feasibility at 20%, technical approach and wider quality at 10%, and sustainability and social value at 5%.

This opportunity suits suppliers with practical capability in commercial or public-sector solar PV, including roof-array design, installation, operation and energy-management services. The PPA funding model makes financial structuring and long-term service delivery important, while the battery storage option favours businesses able to assess battery energy storage feasibility and explain the technical and commercial case. Bidders should be able to present a credible technical approach, demonstrate how the system will support improved energy efficiency and emissions reduction, and address sustainability and social value. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may suit specialist firms as well as larger renewable-energy providers with the capacity to support a long-term college contract.

The college continues its commitment to reducing emissions and further improving energy efficiency, in alignment with The Association of Colleges Carbon Neutral Agenda. A range of projects are ongoing including the continuing rollout of roof mounted solar arrays using the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) funding model.
