    Salford City Council completed a further competition under The Heat Networks and Electricity Generation Assets (HELGA) Dynamic Purchasing System which has over 200 suppliers for all services in relation to the electrical generation assets. Therefore, premarket engagement was undertaken to specify the exact service required which narrowed the number of companies to just over 100 and then a capability assessment was sent to these companies to ask if they were suitable and if they intended to bid for the opportunity. Following this process 5 tenderers responded. The competition for the contract to deliver the solar farm in Little Hulton was released through the Chest to the 5 companies who expressed an interest on Friday 28th October 2022 and closed on 9th December 2023. Site visits were held week of 7th November with 3 contractors attending. Following the closure of the tender period, 3 bids were received for this competition.
