Construction News Image

Solmatix will support West Mercia Energy’s September campaign to launch its Supply and Installation of Solar PV Framework, aiming to speed up delivery of decarbonisation projects across schools and the wider public sector.

Already appointed to the framework's London lot, the company is encouraging schools, academies and Multi-Academy Trusts in the capital to advance solar schemes via an established, compliant route to market.

Through WME, buyers can choose either Direct Award or Further Competition pathways, with the option of managed or self-service procurement support.

For education leaders, the priority is turning plans into practical installations tailored to each site's buildings, electricity demand and operational needs.

Neville Bell, Managing Director of Solmatix, said: "For schools considering solar, knowing how to take the next step can be a challenge. This framework provides a clear route forward, and we look forward to bringing our education sector experience to projects across London, helping schools develop systems that meet their needs and support long-term energy savings."

Solmatix delivers renewable energy projects across the UK and Ireland, with education sector experience including Sydenham High School in London.

Schools and public sector organisations can contact Solmatix to discuss requirements. Guidance on accessing the framework is available via West Mercia Energy's framework webpage (westmerciaenergy.co.uk/energy-frameworks/supply-and-installation-of-solar-pv) or by emailing [email protected].
