Description

BFI is tendering for a provider for the installation and maintenance of ground-based photovoltaic cells at our Gaydon site, in Warwickshire, which is a 20-acre site that was originally a MOD site but gifted to the BFI in the late 1970s.
      
      The main purpose of the site is to house the buildings which provide the close controlled environmental conditions to house major elements of the BFI National Collection of Film and Television, which is the World's largest collection of moving image film and television.
      
      The power consumption at the Gaydon site is approximately 1,500,000 kWh per annum and, in keeping with carbon reduction and cost reduction targets, the BFI investigated the installation of solar photovoltaic cells at Gaydon in order to reduce the BFI's carbon footprint and reliance on the National Grid.
      
      We have identified, and obtained planning permission, for the installation of ground mounted PV panels to two areas which are either side of the Master Film Store building. Further details of the requirements can be found within the Invitation to Tender.

Fishermens Stores at Padstow Garland R-Mer-Clad HPS200 with new Solar panels and Batteries

Padstow is a small commercial port situated 1.5 miles from the sea, within the estuary of the River Camel. Traditionally a fishing port and currently home to a fleet of approximately 20 inshore fishing vessels, the harbour activity has adapted to cater for the busy tourist industry with a wide range of vessels offering an array of trips to suit all would be sea goers. Padstow Harbour Commissioners are the statutory Trust Port body, established by an Act of Parliament in 1844. The Harbour is governed by 9 elected Commissioners, 3 from each of the 3 parishes surrounding the estuary, Padstow, Rock and Wadebridge, and the Harbour Master who sits at the table as the Lord of the Manor representative, and collectively they manage both the leisure and commercial operations of the port. This project involves the installation of a number of solar panels to the roof of the fishermen stores at Padstow. To ensure the efficiency of the works and to safeguard any future repairs to an aged roof, it is proposed that the installation will include a new insulated roof which will cool the stores in the summer months whilst insulating them through the winter. The aim of the project will be to reduce the service charges to our fishermen who lease the stores on a long term basis, and to bring the port into the realms of greener operations. Rising costs of electricity add to the struggles of the inshore fishing fleet who already suffer from the management of the industry being overly complex and inconsistent in its approach as well as ineffective in delivering long term sustainability goals. Escalating costs can lead to a decrease in the safety of vessels through the inability to reinvest in maintenance and equipment. If we are able to reduce the service charges for the fishermen we hope to see any savings reinvested into their business, leading to future proofing, sustainability, increased efficiency and productivity and the overall longevity of the inshore fishing at the Port of Padstow. We have approached three companies for the installation of solar panels with one of the companies offering an overall package of roof and panel installation. It is proposed that the works will be carried out by the chosen contractor who will arrange for all the necessary means for installation. This will also ensure that the products fitted to the stores will be delivered with a suitable warranty, limiting the possibilities of additional costs in the future. We will assess tenders received on a Most Economically Advantageous Tender.
