The brief

The contractor will review the outline design for a 888kW ground-mounted solar PV array at the Wrigley Head site, improve upon it taking into account developments in new technology and any other factors, agree the new design with the Council, Planning Authority and any other key stakeholders such as Transport for Greater Manchester, and then construct, operate and maintain the installation.

The Council has awarded a combined EPC Contract (Engineer Procure Construct) with Operations and Maintenance to a single contractor.

The contract is based on the JCT Design & Build 2016 form.

The Council's requirement to procure a contractor to fulfil the role and responsibility of Principal Contractor and Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and meet all aspects of the Specification in order to control the construction phase and support relevant warranties and ongoing performance commitments did not lend itself to lotting without presenting the Council with unmanageable levels of risk and compromising the attainment of value for money.

The net budget for the procurement is £1.6m.

This project is being funded by the Council itself (no third party funding).

The project reference is DN701652.
