Central Bedfordshire Council – PV Framework

In October 2014 Ecosphere Renewables were awarded a place on the Central Bedfordshire Solar PV Installation framework alongside 4 other companies that scored highly during the pre-qualification questionnaire and tender process.

Projects were then secured by means of a mini tender process based on quality and price. Via this process Ecosphere Renewables have secured 17 projects to date with a total installed capacity of over 362kWp. The sites included schools, libraries, care centres, Central Bedfordshire’s head office, a County Court and a Country Park visitor centre.

The combined generation of the sites are estimated to produce over 290,000 kWh and will reduce the Councils Carbon footprint by 150 tonnes of CO₂ per annum.

All projects were installed on schedule and with minimal disruption to the sites daily activities.
