Description

Portsmouth City Council (the Council) sought tenders from contractors for inclusion on a new Solar PV & Associated Equipment Framework.
Contractors will 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 & battery storage for Portsmouth City Council, with works generally being undertaken to the Councils portfolio of nearly 15,000 social housing properties and 900 corporate assets to
help contribute towards the Council's 2030 Net Zero Carbon target.
The framework consists of two lots, to cover lower value higher frequency call offs and higher value more complex packages of works -
• Lot 1 - works to the value up to £300K, typically in the region of £20K to £50K. There are 11 contractors on this lot, with a primary tier of 6 contractors and a secondary tier of 5 contractors.
• 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 are 10 contractors on this lot with 5 contractors on the primary tier and 5 contractors on the secondary tier.
The framework agreement was established via evaluation of tenders submitted for the following live Council projects, which have been awarded to the highest ranking suppliers on each lot as follows:
Lot 1 - Brambles Infant School and Nursery - Awarded to Kembla Ltd. (Supply and Installation, with elements of Contractor's Design of 37kWp Solar Photovoltaics (PV).  Value of £38,340.
Lot 2 - Mountbatten Centre -  Solar Voltaics Ltd. (Design, Supply and Installation of 280kW Solar Photovoltaics (PV). Value of £216,004.80
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 framework agreement will run for a duration of 4
years.
The framework is 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 will be able to access the framework agreement, either directly or via the Council, although no commitment can be made in this respect.
The Council established the framework agreement in accordance with the Open Procedure as defined within the Public Contracts Regulations (2015).
