Description
Derry City and Strabane District Council invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors for the supply, installation, commissioning, and handover of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage solutions for its two Fleet depots. Each of the two fleet depots have ancillary offices, whilst Strahans Road also operates as a Recycling Centre. This tender will take the form of two Lots therefore interested suppliers are requested to provide prices on a lot-by-lot basis. Bidders can apply for any or all of the Lots. Bidders should note that delivery of this project is subject to external funding and the delivery timeframe has been set with funding timescales in mind. Should adequate funding be secured, the project would support the Council's transition to a low-carbon fleet and estate, supporting emissions reduction and long-term energy cost savings. The 2 Lots encompass the design (where required), installation and commissioning of roof-mounted solar PV arrays and associated battery storage systems to deliver fully operational systems compliant with all relevant standards and regulations. Your submission must be submitted via etendersNI, via this CFT. No other method of submissions will be accepted. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
