2. Observation Post 08 (OP08) (35°10′38.46 “N, 32°42′04.26 “E) is administered under UNFICYP Sector 1 of the buffer zone, in the UN Protected Area, on top of a hill overlooking the North coast of Cyprus, East of the village of Kato Pyrgos, and facilities at the site are currently supplied with electrical power by the Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC). The PV farm shall be connected in parallel with the EAC grid (“on-grid” configuration) and admitted to the Net Billing scheme currently offered by EAC.

3. The Contractor shall perform the required services in three (3) consecutive phases, Phase 1: Study and Executive Design, Phase 2: Mobilization/supply and Installation, and Phase 3: Commissioning and Testing. The minimum objective is to design and install the on-grid PV system with a minimum capacity of 24.90 kilowatt-peak.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this energy & power opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
