Procurement & Tender Support
Solar Strategies acts as your independent client-side adviser through procurement: a clear technical specification, a fair tender process, structured bid evaluation and contract support — so you appoint the right installer at the right price.
Installer quotes are notoriously hard to compare: different panel counts, inverter brands, warranty terms and yield assumptions make a straight price comparison close to meaningless. We fix that by writing an output-based specification everyone prices against, so bids arrive on genuinely equal terms.
From there we manage the tender, evaluate bids on a weighted scorecard, run due diligence on each bidder's competence and financial standing, and support you through contract and performance-guarantee terms — the difference between the cheapest quote and the best value.
What it delivers

- Structured, weighted bid evaluation on price, quality, warranty and deliverability
- Due diligence on installer competence, financial standing and relevant accreditations
- Support through contract, programme and performance-guarantee terms
Outcomes

Can you work within public-procurement rules?
Yes. We structure specifications and evaluation to support compliant, auditable procurement, including through established public-sector frameworks.
