## About this tender

Falmouth Exeter Plus is proposing to seek a partner to provide the provision of solar power to the Penryn campus.

The scheme is to be installed and completed by March 2017 and Falmouth Exeter Plus will be entering into discussions with potential bidders within the next 3 months.

- The project proposal should be fully inclusive of supply, installation and all off-site works (up to

physical connection to campus sub- station).

II. The proposed solar farm should be located within a one mile radius of the Penryn Campus (see map below)

III. The system should generate a minimum of 500kWp and a maximum of 750kWp.

IV. The proposal should be non-exclusive (and Falmouth Exeter plus would hold the rights to buy PV

from other providers)

- The partner should be able to demonstrate saving efficiencies and carbon benefits compared with rates from the current energy provider.

VI. Falmouth Exeter Plus would require the partner to have a proven track record of completing solar farm projects.
