II.2.4) Description of the procurement

This lot covers the design, selection, installation and commissioning of a range of solar PV and electrical energy storage systems (EESS). Projects may require both solar PV and EESS or may be the installation of standalone solar PV or EESS systems.

Installations may be required for a range of building types, including residential, commercial, community and other public buildings. Typically these works will be undertaken on existing buildings but may also be on new builds or extensions to existing properties.

Key tasks include surveying, assessment, and design, the selection of new systems and components, specification of installer requirements, installation of systems, and thorough commissioning, testing, and handover processes.

Works may also involve adapting existing building features to ensure the system is properly integrated, and may include associated works that would be beneficial and pragmatic to complete alongside the installation of the new system or to secure grant funding.

If requested by the client (and where an appointed company has the capacity and competency to do so), the scope for this lot can extend to subsequent inspection, servicing and maintenance of any system installed by the appointed company.

Bidders for this lot will be expected to be able to demonstrate compliance with the appropriate PAS2030 standard for installation of the systems outlined in this lot, or, commit to achieving the relevant PAS 2030 accreditation within 2 years of being appointed to the framework.
