Repair and Maintenance of Peterborough City Council's Solar Estate

Peterborough City Council · Local authority

In brief

Peterborough City Council has announced plans to buy energy and construction work. This is an early notice: there is nothing to bid on yet, but it tells you a tender may follow.

It is a framework worth up to £1,500,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

The contract runs for 8 years, starting 1 April 2027.

The buyer says it is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses.

Built from the notice's own fields. Always check the official notice before you bid.

Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for this buyer (from 11 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £1,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Peterborough City Council (PCC) owns 7653 domestic solar PV assets of differing sizes (between 0.75 and 4 kWp [9.75, 9.8 and 20.3 kWp in Boston]) and a further 64 corporate solar PV assets of differing sizes (between 6 and 200 kWp), all contributing to the Council's net zero target and to its ongoing maintenance needs via FiT. The solar PV systems are located across England and are remotely monitored and managed by the Council. With the support of the Provider, we aim to maintain the solar PV assets when an issue arises, usually identified by our alerts system, sometimes identified by the resident. The Council is reviewing its current repair and maintenance arrangements with a view to creating a framework of suppliers to deliver these services, and is inviting solar maintenance contractors to review the Soft Market Test and respond.
