GMCA 374 - FC036 Salford CC (Lot 1) - 2025/26 Solar PV Programme
AI Summary
The contract provides for the design, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of solar photovoltaic systems on the rooftops of nine Salford City Council sites, comprising eight council buildings and one local authority school. The contractor will prepare the necessary designs, select and provide the equipment, carry out installation and perform all commissioning work as outlined in the specification, ensuring the systems are fully operational and integrated with the local grid. Works will be delivered under a fixed‑price agreement, with the possibility of splitting the programme into two stages if roof integrity surveys indicate that a site requires additional re‑roofing work before PV installation can proceed. Installations will only begin once the Distribution Network Operator has offered a grid connection and the required planning approvals have been received for each location.
Salford City Council reserves the right to add or omit sites during the contract period, and the contractor is required to price each site separately to facilitate the valuation of any subsequent variations. The selected contractor must provide proof of Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certification for both the installation service and the equipment delivered under the contract. The systems and installation must therefore be MCS‑certified.
Description
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.

Whilst it is the intention that PV systems will be installed at all 9 locations, Salford City Council reserves the right to omit any number of sites or add additional sites during the contract period. For this reason, contractor is asked to price for each site separately. These values will be used to value any contract variations. If other sites are added there is an expectation that these will be priced using the same price structure. A change control process will be in place and all changes treated as contract variations and administered accordingly.
