Tender description

Northumbria University are seeking expressions of interest for a project to install a large solar PV array on the roof of Northumberland Building on City Campus Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8ST (please refer to aerial photograph on page 2 of the document attached to the SQ). Our estimates are that the space could accommodate an array of approximately 80kW. Our requirement is that the array should be able to payback in a period of approximately 8 years (based on costs inclusive of VAT and price of 17p/kWh for electricity). The contract would include all elements of the installation and commissioning, including structural survey. Timescales are still being examined, but we hope the tender will be issued by 28th June, with completion of the installation by 30th October 2019. Interested parties should supply two case studies of similar installations, one of which should be on an educational building.
