## Description
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to initiate a soft market testing exercise to gain industry's views on a number of considerations related to the development and disposal of three renewable energy projects within the administrative boundary of Central Bedfordshire Council ('the council'). The council aims to bring forward up to 176 MW of battery storage and up to 90 MWp solar PV across three grid connections. We wish to engage with organisations interested in opportunities to lead on the development, delivery and operation of these assets. The council is yet to determine if, when and how it will dispose of these assets. Soft market testing will help us collect information and perspectives from the market in relation to any potential future contract opportunity. Responding to this PIN does not place any compulsion on respondents to enter any subsequent competition or for the council to proceed further.
