Description

Portsmouth City Council (the Council) is seeking to invite tenders from contractors for inclusion on a new Solar PV & Associated Equipment Framework.

Contractors will be expected to undertake a range of energy generation works, including the design, supply and installation, and if required operation and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems and associated equipment, taking on the role of Principal Contractor or sub-contractor to oversee and manage works using a range of either direct labour or through sub-contractors.

The Framework will serve as the primary route to procure solar PV and battery storage for Portsmouth City Council.

The framework will be split into two lots, to cover lower value higher frequency call offs and higher value more complex packages of works -
o Lot 1 - works to the value up to ?300K, typically in the region of ?20K to ?50K. There will be up to 14 contractors on this lot, with a primary tier of 6 contractors and a secondary tier of up to 8 contractors.
o Lot 2 - works from ?150K, with no upper limit for the works but typically the works will range from ?150,000 to ?400,000. There will be up to 10 contractors with 5 contractors on the primary tier and up to 5 contractors on the secondary tier.

The target date for award of the framework agreement is Friday 13th December 2024. The Framework will be established for a period of 4 years.

Contractors will be able to apply to either or both tiers of the framework agreement.

The framework agreement will be established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following live Council projects:

Lot 1 - Brambles Infant School and Nursery - Supply and Installation, with elements of Contractor's Design of 37kWp Solar Photovoltaics (PV) at Brambles Infant School and Nursery value -estimated at ?40K

Lot 2 - Mountbatten Centre - Design, Supply and Installation of 280kW Solar Photovoltaics (PV) at Mountbatten Centre -value estimated at ?240K

The framework will allow for award of call off contracts via mini-competition and direct award against a range of options. The value and type of individual call offs is expected to vary considerably due to the Council's extensive portfolio.

The Council is aiming to have established the framework agreement by December 2024. Once in place the agreement will run for a duration of 4 years.

The framework will be available for access to all contracting authorities- situated within Hampshire, Isle of Wight, East Sussex, West Sussex, Berkshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, Dorset and Oxfordshire who may use this framework agreement to install systems across their property portfolios.

It is anticipated that over the 4-year period approximately up to ?25m of projects may be procured through the Framework under lot 1 and up to ?50m under lot 2.

The above figures covers estimated demand by the Council and use from other contracting authorities that wil...
