What is being bought

Published requirement description

Following a cable theft incident in August 2025 and the asset’s ongoing operational needs, the Council intends to procure a contractor to deliver two phases of work:

Phase 1 – Rectification (Cable Theft Redress): Survey, design confirmation, procurement, and physical reinstatement of damaged DC string cabling and associated works to return the whole plant to safe, compliant, and fully operational status.

Phase 2 – Ongoing O&M: Full technical O&M services (see exclusions below) , including monitoring, preventive and corrective maintenance, HV operations, reporting, and asset management over a multi‑year term to ensure its long-term performance.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 11 Jun 2031, 23:59 BST.

  • Social Value
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
