The project aims to involve parties in owning, installing, operating, and maintaining renewable technology, ideally within North Ayrshire. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key deadline for submissions set for close of business on Friday, 30th July 2021. Interested suppliers must ensure compliance with the relevant legislation and licensing requirements as outlined in the tender documents. This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in renewable energy solutions, installations, and maintenance services. Companies that align with North Ayrshire Council's objectives of environmental sustainability and community wealth building will be well-suited to participate. Offering innovative energy solutions that cater to the Council's needs while contributing to community benefits can further enhance business prospects in this emerging market. ## Notice The interested party would be required to own, install, operate, and maintain the renewable technology ideally, but not limited to North Ayrshire. ### Lot Information Lot 1 North Ayrshire Council declared a Climate Emergency in June 2019 and has committed to achieve net-zero carbon status by 2030. The Council has developed its third Environmental Sustainability & Climate Change Strategy, a roadmap to achieving this emission reduction target. One of the aims within the Strategy is to maximise access to affordable renewable energy technology. The Council are currently developing two solar PV farm projects and undertaking feasibility studies to identify potential wind energy projects. Alongside climate change and sustainability, Community Wealth Building is at the heart of the Council's decision-making process. In order to maximise opportunities for a Green Recovery, North Ayrshire Council is seeking to better understand the interest from community organisations and businesses to install large scale (>50kW) renewable technology, ideally in North Ayrshire, to sell the energy generated to the Council, and contribute the net profit to the North Ayrshire community. The interested party would be required to own, install, operate, and maintain the renewable technology ideally, but not limited to North Ayrshire, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and licensing requirements, and adhering to performance guarantees. The renewable energy generated would be backed by REGO Guarantee and supplied to North Ayrshire Council, at a negotiated rate. The Council anticipate the energy supplier would contribute 100% of net profit to community benefit over the lifetime of the renewable asset. Interested parties are encouraged to propose innovative solutions that optimise value for money for the Council's energy requirements whilst supporting community interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN418676 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Jun 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 29 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH AYRSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | IRVINE | | Post town | Kilmarnock | | Postcode | KA12 8EE | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire | | Local authority | North Ayrshire | | Electoral ward | Irvine South | | Westminster constituency | Central Ayrshire | | Delivery location | TLM93 North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 18 Jun 2021 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN418676 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN418676&idx=2 25th June 2021 - Please see document for a recent question and answer regarding PIN notice. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN418676&idx=1 18th June 2021 - Please complete the attached questionnaire and return to amietrainor@north-ayrshire.gov.uk. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN418676 Community Renewable Energy Generation - The interested party would be required to own, install, operate, and maintain the renewable technology ideally, but not limited to North Ayrshire. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.north-ayrshire.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000657704 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=657704 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
