## Summary

Kent Community Health NHS Foundation Trust commissioned a solar photovoltaic (PV) condition review and remedial planning service for Victoria Hospital. The work covers a desktop review of the existing solar PV installation, a site inspection, a technical report, a register of defects and a schedule of remedial works. This is an engineering and inspection service relating to solar energy equipment, rather than a contract to supply or install a new system. The buyer is the NHS trust; the work is for its Victoria Hospital site in the United Kingdom. The requirement combines assessment of the installation’s condition with practical documentation to identify defects and set out remedial work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Barton Knight Energy Limited. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and runs from 29 June to 31 October 2026. Its value is £14,350 excluding VAT (£17,220 including VAT). The award was for the solar PV review, inspection, technical report, defects register and remedial works schedule for Victoria Hospital. The published outcome confirms the selected supplier and contract terms; the procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the direct, non-competitive route.

For firms competing when this trust’s solar PV assessment requirement next comes to market, the demonstrated need is for a joined-up engineering service: reviewing existing system information, inspecting equipment on site, producing a technically useful condition report, recording defects and translating findings into a remedial works schedule. Credible suppliers would need the technical expertise and delivery capacity to complete both desk-based assessment and site work, then present clear, actionable findings. The selected supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was deliverable by a specialist firm at a modest project scale. Experience with solar PV installations and engineering inspection would be directly relevant; the requirement is assessment and remedial planning, not simply general energy advice or new-system installation.
