## About this tender

The West of England Combined Authority is looking to aggregate approximately seven upcoming renewable energy feasibility projects into a single contract and are seeking input from the market to inform the procurement strategy.

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council Photovoltaic Rollout Support - This commission builds on previous work that has already identified a portfolio of suitable rooftop solar opportunities. The focus is not on determining whether solar is feasible, but on providing technical, commercial and financial development support to package projects into investment ready portfolios, assess delivery models and prepare business cases for engagement with investors and delivery partners, including Great British Energy. The outputs are project development and commercialisation. Estimated value: £80,000.

Havant Borough Council Landfill Site with Community Energy Broadmarsh - Site specific development commission to progress a known renewable energy project towards delivery. The work includes grid and off taker engagement, planning and environmental activities, technical surveys, and support to develop Heads of Terms between Havant Borough Council and Havant Community Energy. Estimated value: £85,000.

Bristol City Coucil Community Assets Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Demonstrator - This commission includes strategic portfolio appraisal, commercial and community delivery model development, stakeholder engagement, knowledge transfer, and integration with the Bristol City Leap programme. The commission is intentionally designed with decision gateways so that sites can either transfer into the City Leap delivery programme or continue through further development. Estimated value: £150,000.

Cornwall Council County Farms Renewables Feasibility - This project will assess renewable energy opportunities across the County Farms estate through technical, planning, environmental, grid and commercial appraisal to identify and prioritise viable projects for future development. The outcome is the identification of suitable opportunities. Estimated value: £140,000.

Gloucestershire County Council Renewables Assessment - This commission includes an assessment of renewable energy opportunities and its purpose is to develop a strategic pipeline of investment opportunities across Gloucestershire's public sector estate. The work is driven by immediate political priorities and is intended to identify, prioritise and shape projects capable of progressing into delivery. Estimated value: £80,000.

Torbay Council Solar Sites Assessment - Techno-economic assessment of TC's portfolio, including rooftop solar, solar carports and energy audits. Output will be technical feasibility assessments and business case ready for Torbay Council internal approval. Estimated value: £40,000.

Mid Devon District Council Phoenix Lane Solar - Detailed assessment of the proposed Phoenix Lane Solar PV project, building on previous feasibility work to develop an investment-ready business case. Estimated value: £30,000.
