Description

This Invitation to Tender (ITT) is issued by WSCC to seek and identify suitably qualified and interested organisations from the private, public and third (voluntary, community and charitable) sector to carry out surveys and to prepare a design and costing of the installation and maintenance of Solar PV and BESS, to install the equipment and to maintain the equipment at Designated Sites identified in Document No. 9 (Asset List). There is also the opportunity to add Pipeline Sites and Wider Estate to the Programme as detailed below under 5- Scope of this procurement.



The Solar PV and Battery Storage Programme ("SPVBS Programme") is set up in three phases: Phase 1 NEC4 Term Services Contract ("NEC4 TSC for Phase 1") for the survey, design and costing works, Phase 2 NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract ("NEC4 ECC for Phase 2") for the installation works and Phase 3 NEC4 Term Services Contract ("NEC4 TSC for Phase 3") for the ongoing maintenance services.



Following approval of the design and costing carried out in Phase 1 in relation to each Designated Site and/or Pipeline Site and/or Wider Estate, WSCC may then proceed to appoint the Contractor to carry out the installation of the equipment at that Site under Phase 2 and maintenance of the Equipment at that Site under Phase 3, in accordance with the relevant Contract Terms and Conditions as set out in Document 03 (Contract Terms and Conditions).



WSCC is under no obligation to award a contract under Phase 2 and/or Phase 3 in respect of any Designated Site and/or Pipeline Site and/or Wider Estate that is subsequently incorporated into the Programme.



The Works, as further described in Document No. 2 (The Specification) are being tendered by WSCC in accordance with WSCC's Standing Orders on Procurement and Contracts and the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015).
