Authority: Leicestershire County Council (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLeicestershire County Council (The Council) intends to procure a supplier to provide solar panel cleaning and maintenance on a planned/reactive basis (E.g. replacement of failed inverter &/or panels, repairs to failed strings, lifting of solar P.V. or relocation of inverters during construction projects). New installations shall not form part of this exercise.
Since 2015 the Council has sought to improve the energy efficiency at its Premises and deliver on its environmental policies by installing solar panel systems
Due to the systems being at different stages in their lifecycle, budget has been made available to procure a Suppler to provide an inspection, cleaning, servicing and maintenance over a 5 year period.
The aim of the Service is to minimise downtime whilst maximising energy generation. The eventual Supplier must be able to provide support in the delivery of this objective.
The anticipated spend is approximately £25k to £75k per annum.
The Council's preferred procurement strategy is to contract with a single provider over a 5 year term.
