Description

BFI is tendering for a provider for the installation and maintenance of ground-based photovoltaic cells at our Gaydon site, in Warwickshire, which is a 20-acre site that was originally a MOD site but gifted to the BFI in the late 1970s.

The main purpose of the site is to house the buildings which provide the close controlled environmental conditions to house major elements of the BFI National Collection of Film and Television, which is the World's largest collection of moving image film and television.

The power consumption at the Gaydon site is approximately 1,500,000 kWh per annum and, in keeping with carbon reduction and cost reduction targets, the BFI investigated the installation of solar photovoltaic cells at Gaydon in order to reduce the BFI's carbon footprint and reliance on the National Grid.

We have identified, and obtained planning permission, for the installation of ground mounted PV panels to two areas which are either side of the Master Film Store building. Further details of the requirements can be found within the Invitation to Tender.
