Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) with PV (Photovoltaic) integration

The Authority will make available five (5) , one-to-one, meeting slots with interested suppliers to present upon the Objectives outlined in the Procurement description section of this Preliminary Market Engagement Notice.

Suppliers are invited to express an interest in presenting at a one-to-one meeting with Authority representatives. Expressions of interest should be submitted via email by the closing date of this PME notice to [email protected] and be marked for the attention of Aimee Lee (Category Manager - Estates & Environmental). Please include the name of your organisation and the name and contact details of the Lead Person from your organisation. You should also confirm whether you are a manufacturer or an installer, and the make/models of your products e.g. your panel, inverter, and battery products.

The five (5) one-to-one meetings will be held from mid-September 2025 and are available on a first come first served basis. Dates and times for the five meetings are identified as:

Thursday 18 September 2025 13:00 to 14:30

Thursday 25 September 2025 13:00 to 14:30

Friday 26 September 2025 10:30 to 12:00noon

Tuesday 30 September 2025 10:00 to 11:30

Thursday 02 October 2025 14:00 to 15:30

Please note these dates and times may be subject to change at the Authority's discretion. The Authority also reserves the right to invite further suppliers for a meeting and as such a waiting list of expressions of interest will be collated where a higher number of interested suppliers apply.

The Authority will contact suppliers directly via email with an available date and time, to invite them to a meeting. Please do not attempt to request specific meeting dates and times. If you are unable to attend at the date and time offered to you, then you will forego the opportunity, and the Authority will propose that date and time to the next supplier on the waiting list. If you do not respond to the invitation to confirm your acceptance of the meeting within 2-working days, the Authority will revoke the invitation and offer it to the next supplier on the waiting list.

The meeting will be a maximum of 1.5hours in length; 45minutes for the supplier to present in respect of the Objectives (as outlined in the Procurement Description section of this PME Notice) and 45minutes for questions and answers. The meetings will be held remotely via MS Teams. Supplier attendees will be restricted to 3 persons. The meetings will be recorded for reference purposes.

We want these meetings to be productive, efficient, and technology focussed. Please avoid concentrating on Sales information about your organisation. If you require any specific information from the Authority prior to the meeting, you may request this in reply to the invitation. Please note we may not be able to provide any/all requested information.

If you are not invited to a meeting but wish to provide information which you believe will assist the Authority, you are welcome to submit such information via the email address provided.

Please note all information received from suppliers will be considered disclosable through this PME process unless identified as commercial sensitive and notified of such sensitivity to the Authority by the Supplier.
