Together the “Project”.
This scope of work is for the provision of Solar PV Equipment and Principal contractor and Principal Designer Services under the CDM Regulations for both projects.

The appointed supplier will be expected to design, procure and deliver the works at both the Burrow Beck and at the Gateway Building. The works are set out in the specification which can be found at Annex A.
Burrow Beck:
Burrow Beck achieved planning permission on 30 September 2024 under planning reference: 23/01383/FUL (https://www.lancaster.gov.uk/planning/view-applications-and-decisions)
A material planning amendment has been submitted due to the change in layout design. A decision is expected to be made on 7 April 2025.

Note that the connection works together with the provision of high voltage equipment, transformers and the main low voltage switchgear forms part of a separate scope of works (the “ICP Scope”) and is not part of this tender;
Due to the long lead items, the ICP Works have already been tendered.
Tenderers will be permitted to tender for both procurements however no information will be provided relating to the procurement referred to at 2.6.2 for the ICP Works as part of this procurement process at this stage.
Burrow Beck will operate on a 100% sale to grid basis and opportunities to ‘sleeve’ energy to council buildings is also being explored.
Gateway Building
The installation is expected to be constructed under permitted development (PD) rights and the Contractor will ensure that the final design is compliant with any requirements associated with this. Due to Condition (2) Class J(c) of the Town and Country Planning Order 2015, the client has applied to see if “Prior Approval” is required. The outcome will be known by April 2025.

A structural survey has been undertaken which is included in [xxx]. Tenders are responsible for ensuring that their final design complies with the finding of this report but in general the findings are that an installation of 14.7kg/m2 should be suitable;
Parts of the roof have undergone refurbishment removing some of the obstructions that were previously installed and strengthening the rooflights
The Main low voltage switchgear for the building has recently been upgraded and a spare bay for the low voltage connection of the PV system has been included.
Note that in relation to the contract, one Contractor is proposed for both Gateway and Burrow Beck and will be responsible for all of the works.
Gateway is a tenanted building. The council is in control of the energy meters. Energy consumption is recharged to the tenants, and it is anticipated that at least half of the new generation will be consumed on site, with the remaining exported to grid.
The Project is expected to be delivered during 2025 and early 2026 with a target energisation to the grid for Burrow Beck to be no later than 30th October 2025 and the Gateway Building to be no later than 31st January 2026.
Bidders should provide a clear and detailed project plan for both projects to meet the hard delivery deadlines. This should include ordering and delivery of long-lead items.
