Description

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council "the Council" is considering future use options for a site within its ownership, situated north east of the Thornycroft Roundabout in Basingstoke. The site is coloured blue on the site plan provided.

The council wishes to assess whether the site is suitable for a battery storage facility, which could take surplus electricity from the network and then release the electricity, when there is a shortage of supply.

The council is therefore seeking expressions of interest from parties interested in providing and managing such a facility, and the likely terms and arrangements upon which parties would deliver the project. This would be on the basis that the operator would enter into a lease arrangement with the council, on detailed terms to be agreed.

A description of the site and basis of any lease is set out within the project documentation. Interested parties must register their interest in this opportunity via the South East Business Portal (ProContract) to view this additional information.

Once registered, interested parties wishing to submit their formal expression of interest in this project should respond by completing the Expression of Interest form.

Parties should note that, in line with the Councils Disposal of Land Standing Orders the council will not be obliged to consider any submitted expression of interest further, nor will it be required to undertake any marketing exercise following consideration of any expression of interest received. These documents do not form part of any offer or contract.
