Efficiency North are seeking to create a concession framework for roof mounted solar PV systems which will be available for their members' use as well as within the East Midlands, North East and North West regions of England.

The concession framework will offer public sector landlords a rent a roof style solution for housing and other public sector owned buildings with the successful bidders providing an income to the landlords along with full finance, installation, maintenance and monitoring for the solar PV installations over 25 years in exchange for the feed in tariff.


The framework will be for 1 year with the option for a 1 year extension.

The tender is following a single stage open procedure and is being administered by Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council on behalf of Efficiency North.

Efficiency North Project Manager Carl Bairstow commented: "With substantial pressure on investment budgets we have significant interest from landlords from Yorkshire and Humber and within Efficiency East Midlands all wanting to get the best value offers they can from the growing solar PV developer market without the need for client investment. They are keen to see offers that will enable a broad range of tenants to benefit whilst also providing an income to enable re-investment in less well funded energy saving measures."
