Technical requirements: Northumbrian Water is seeking partners who will secure 100 % of the required funding and then deliver renewable energy solutions for its sites. Our intention is to award a maximum of 4 frameworks for wind and solar. These two sources of renewable energy will be our initial focus. There will be 2 lots, with a maximum of 2 suppliers for each lot. Bidders may bid for both lots or just 1 lot.
The framework supplier(s) will finance, project manage, design, procure, construct, operate and maintain the installations. Partners will be offered the exclusive opportunity to develop detailed proposals which allow Northumbrian Water to enter into a long term power purchase contract with the supplier(s). Northumbrian Water will co-ordinate with the framework suppliers to identify and review proposals.

The total quantity or scope is difficult to forecast at this stage as it is dependant on the success of each development. However we believe that it should be possible to create multiple developments in the required range given the available footprints for potential development across our estate. We have not given precise energy requirements as the size of our sites can very considerably. More detailed information will be made available in the tender documents.
