Description

Local authorities and public sector bodies continue to be tasked with making savings and reducing their carbon emissions, as well as being committed to sustainability and energy management. Solar photovoltaic technology would assist Salford City Council to achieve a reduction in grid electricity consumption and more importantly reduce its carbon emissions levels via on-site generation.

Salford City Council is seeking to procure a contractor to undertake the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of solar photovoltaic systems on the roofs of up to 8 council buildings and 1 local authority school.

The photovoltaic system installer and products used shall be certified by the microgeneration certification scheme (MCS). The photovoltaic installer shall provide proof of certification as part of the tender return.

Whilst it is intended that works be carried out in a single stage for all sites, this may be separated into two stages, should the roof condition surveys identify any major roof integrity issues. Any sites identified as requiring re-roof works will be moved into stage 2 to allow the works to be carried out first. In either case, installations will only commence once grid offers from the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and any associated prior approvals from planning are received for the respective sites.

The fixed price contract will include the design, supply, installation, setting to work, testing and commissioning of the photovoltaic systems and installations as defined within this specification on the proposed roof tops of the following buildings, as detailed in Annex A.
