The project also covers installation of a fall arrest system. The solar installation is intended to support the university’s sustainability strategy by reducing carbon emissions, improving energy resilience and lowering long-term electricity costs. It will contribute to the university’s net-zero objectives and provide opportunities for sustainability engagement and educational use. This is a building installation and solar energy project, suited to contractors able to deliver a complete rooftop renewable-energy installation rather than supply equipment alone. The work will be delivered at the Faith Centre on the Peel Campus. The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 30 May 2027. The estimated total value is £90,000 gross, including applicable taxes. There is one lot, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical and 30% commercial. The technical assessment covers sustainability at 10%, delivery at 30%, contract management at 20% and health and safety at 10%. Electronic submission was allowed. This opportunity suits a suitably qualified and experienced contractor with the capability to manage a complete rooftop solar PV project from design through supply, installation, commissioning and handover. Relevant businesses are likely to include solar installation contractors, building-services firms and renewable-energy specialists able to coordinate associated fall-arrest works. Bidders need to demonstrate a credible technical approach, with delivery, contract management and health and safety forming substantial parts of the assessment. The evaluation also gives specific weight to sustainability, so suppliers able to show practical carbon-reduction and environmental value should be well placed. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, and its defined single-site scope may suit a contractor with the capacity to complete a focused university-campus installation. ## Notice The University of Salford is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor to design, supply, install, commission, and hand over a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system for the Faith Centre on the Peel Campus.
