Decision:

To enter into a contract on behalf of the Council with Pyramid Solution South East Limited trading as Pyramid Eco (Company Number 07622455, registered at 16 Beaufort Court, Admirals Way, Docklands, London, E14 9XL) to the value of £156,335.

Reasons for the decision:

Cabinet approved the Ten_04 Sunspot Solar Panels project in March 2025, and delegated to the Portfolio Holder to award the Building Contract
A competitive tender process has been undertaken in line with the Council’s Procurement Procedure Rules
The bids have been evaluated by a panel of officers and appointed specialist consultants, and consensus reached on a preferred bidder.

Alternative options considered:

Not to award contract: this would prevent the project progressing to delivery.
To repeat the tender exercise: though a lower level of responses was received than indicated by pre-market engagement, a strong bid was received that is recommended for award.
Not to deliver the project: this would forfeit the funding and the opportunity to reduce running costs for the tenants.
