GMCA 374 - FC036 Salford CC (Lot 1) - 2025/26 Solar PV Programme

This is a contract result notice, not an open opportunity. Details from the official award data.

Local authorities and public sector bodies continue to be tasked with making savings and reducing their carbon emissions, as well as being committed to sustainability and energy management.

Solar photovoltaic technology would assist Salford City Council to achieve a reduction in grid electricity consumption and more importantly reduce its carbon emissions levels via on-site generation.

Salford City Council is seeking to procure a contractor to undertake the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of solar photovoltaic systems on the roofs of up to 8 council buildings and 1 local authority school.

The photovoltaic system installer and products used shall be certified by the microgeneration certification scheme (MCS).

The photovoltaic installer shall provide proof of certification as part of the tender return.

Whilst it is intended that works be carried out in a single stage for all sites, this may be separated into two stages, should the roof condition surveys identify any major roof integrity issues.

Any sites identified as requiring re-roof works will be moved into stage 2 to allow the works to be carried out first.

In either case, installations will only commence once grid offers from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and any associated prior approvals from planning are received for the respective sites.

The fixed price contract will include the design, supply, installation, setting to work, testing and commissioning of the photovoltaic systems and installations as defined within this specification on the proposed roof tops of the following buildings, as detailed in Annex A.

Riverview Primary School, 1 Wheaters Street, Salford, M7 1QZ Whilst it is the intention that PV systems will be installed at all 9 locations, Salford City Council reserves the right to omit any number of sites or add additional sites during the contract period.

For this reason, contractor is asked to price for each site separately.

These values will be used to value any contract variations.

If other sites are added there is an expectation that these will be priced using the same price structure.

A change control process will be in place and all changes treated as contract variations and administered accordingly.
