In plain English

West Sussex County Council is looking for contractors to maintain and repair rooftop solar panel systems across their sites. This is a 4-year framework agreement where they'll call on suppliers to do emergency repairs, regular inspections, and planned maintenance work on solar installations.

What the buyer wants

• Respond to emergency call-out visits for solar panel system failures • Carry out regular inspections and condition checks on rooftop solar PV systems • Perform planned repairs and maintenance on solar installations • Maintain domestic solar systems at applicable council properties

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This contract requires specialist solar PV qualifications and experience. Most general electricians or builders without specific solar panel certification will not be eligible, and the £2.52m estimated value suggests this is aimed at larger firms or multi-contractor frameworks rather than sole traders.

How to bid

This is a framework: the buyer picks a set of suppliers now and awards work to them over several years. If you are not on it when it is awarded, you usually cannot win work from it until it is re-tendered, so this is the window to bid.
