What is being bought

In order to support Climate Emergency and Decarbonisation work across South East Wales, Cardiff Capital Region are exploring facilitation of a Collective Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Purchasing Scheme for local authorities belonging to the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR). The aim of this early market engagement exercise is to determine whether there is a market to help residents, SME buildings, community venues and places of worship purchase “Supply and Fit” PV arrays, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers at an affordable price from accredited installers. The contractor will handle customer service, vet installers and provide regional capacity for rollout of solar PV, plus provide relevant project data to the Cardiff Capital Region. The contractor will deliver a collective purchasing Scheme for the supply and installation of photovoltaic panel (PV) systems for householders to enable them to take advantage of discounted panels via collective purchasing, with options for battery storage and electric vehicle charging. The Contractor will set up an online platform to facilitate the collective purchasing scheme by allowing 3rd party suppliers to bid for work for which householders have registered interest. Supply and installation contracts shall be between the Contractor and the Household/establishment. The Contractor will pay the Authorities a commission for every successful installation completed. The planned contract start date is 15th January 2026. This contract is categorized as a below threshold concessions contract as the Authorities are not able to commit or guarantee any orders. This Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is not a call for competition. Responses will inform our procurement strategy, which may or may not include a future competitive tender process. Suppliers may be invited to participate in further engagement activities, including demonstrations or clarification sessions. Please advise if you are interested in bidding for this opportunity and participating in the market engagement by registering onto the following PQQ of etenderwales, expressing your interest and completing the questionnaire by the date provided.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy (09300000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "In order to support Climate Emergency and Decarbonisation work across South East Wales, Cardiff Capital Region are exploring facilitation of a Collective Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Purchasing Scheme for local authorities belonging to the Cardiff Capital Region (CCR).\nThe aim of this early market engagement exercise is to determine whether there is a market to help residents, SME buildings, community venues and places of worship purchase “Supply and Fit” PV arrays, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) chargers at an affordable price from accredited installers. The contractor will handle customer service, vet installers and provide regional capacity for rollout of solar PV, plus provide relevant project data to the Cardiff Capital Region.\nThe contractor will deliver a collective purchasing Scheme for the supply and installation of photovoltaic panel (PV) systems for householders to enable them to take advantage of discounted panels via collective purchasing, with options for battery storage and electric vehicle charging. The Contractor will set up an online platform to facilitate the collective purchasing scheme by allowing 3rd party suppliers to bid for work for which householders have registered interest.   Supply and installation contracts shall be between the Contractor and the Household/establishment. The Contractor will pay the Authorities a commission for every successful installation completed.\nThe planned contract start date is 15th January 2026.  This contract is categorized as a below threshold concessions contract as the Authorities are not able to commit or guarantee any orders.  \nThis Preliminary Market Engagement Notice is not a call for competition. Responses will inform our procurement strategy, which may or may not include a future competitive tender process. Suppliers may be invited to participate in further engagement activities, including demonstrations or clarification sessions.\nPlease advise if you are interested in bidding for this opportunity and participating in the market engagement by registering onto the following PQQ of etenderwales, expressing your interest and completing the questionnaire by the date provided.
