The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 5 p.m. on 17 January 2025. The contract period is set to start on 27 January 2025 and conclude by 30 June 2027, making it a crucial opportunity for businesses in the renewable energy sector. This tender offers significant growth potential for companies specialising in renewable energy, EPC services, and community energy projects. The project requires design review, principal contractor duties, detailed design, procurement, construction/installation, and project handover, making it ideal for firms with a comprehensive EPC capability. Moreover, as a community-owned venture, there is emphasis on delivering community benefits, providing additional social and economic value to contractors involved. Businesses that can demonstrate relevant experience and provide robust client references will be well-positioned to compete for this opportunity. ## Notice Bretton Hall Solar will be a community-owned solar PV plant of c.30MW export capacity and battery installation to provide renewable energy for export via the local distribution network and/or directly to nearby heavy power consumers. The project is sited at Bretton Hall, near Broughton in Flintshire on the border between England and Wales and the site extends across the national boundary.
