## Summary

The University of St Andrews has awarded a contract for the procurement of Renewable Energy & Solar Deployment Survey, Scoping & Options Appraisal - Phase 2. The University aimed to increase renewable energy available to buildings and achieve cost savings through solar panel installations. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the buying organisation being the University of St Andrews located in Guardbridge, UK. The contract award date was 23rd February 2024.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the services sector, particularly those involved in renewable energy deployment and solar technology, to compete and contribute to decarbonising energy supplies. Companies offering large-scale energy solutions would be well-suited to bid for this contract. The tender stage was completed, and the University of St Andrews is actively working towards implementing solar installations across its estate. Key dates included the contract award on 23rd February 2024 and the tender submission deadline on 10th January 2024.

## Notice

The University of St Andrews wishes to increase renewable energy available to buildings to decarbonise site energy supply, through the installation of roof-mounted solar panels. The overarching aim being to provide improvements to future energy costs and security, through making use of largely underutilised roof spaces. The purpose of this scope of works is to expand on the viability of respective solar installations options against University technical requirements, and development of Employers Requirements and procurement options for deployment of the options selected. The University instructed an initial desktop study for Solar installations across the 3 core areas identified. Initial findings from the study undertaken indicated potential for installation of solar arrays totalling 1.39 MWp. This would have an indicative capital cost of around GBP1,650,000 and could save the University GBP307,000 per annum, equivalent to almost 220 tonnes of carbon. The University aims to progress to Phase 2, developing a clear strategy for delivering Solar installations across its estate.
