## About this tender

St Catherine's College is a Church of England secondary school based in Eastbourne, East Sussex. It is one of 25 academies within the Diocese of Chichester Academy Trust and has over 1060 students on roll between the ages of 11-16.

We are looking to procure £100,000 of solar panels (Solar Edge). Approximately 12 months ago we had a large solar install with a system size of 101.65kWp (Solar Edge). We would like to add to this system and invest £100,000 into further solar panels.

Our solar panels are situated on the following roofs:

17, 5, 8, 9.

We would like to propose that further solar panels are installed onto roofs 4, 7, 1, 13, 11 and 18 however we will be led by the contractor to offer advice regarding maximum benefit from the sunlight.

Our electricity is currently supplied by EDF and we pay a monthly standing charge of £386.453 and the current pence per kWh:

### Day 26.57030

### Night 20.50540

We are asking interested parties for a submission of what you can provide for £100,000 investment on solar as buy out right option (no leases or investment options). The College wishes the energy savings we own them outright and gain the energy saving direct back to the college.

Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
