RFx ID: 34614714 Organisation: Ministry of Education - School Infrastructure Open date: Monday, 10 August 2026 9:30 AM +12:00 Close date: Monday, 7 September 2026 5:00 PM +12:00 Categories: 72000000 - Building and Facility Construction and Maintenance Services Region: New Zealand Overview: Solar on Schools - Expression of Interest The New Zealand Government’s “Solar on Schools” programme, announced on 3 June 2026 as part of Budget 2026, is a $30 million initiative aimed at installing solar energy systems in up to 500 schools nationwide over three years. Delivered jointly by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) and the Ministry of Education, the programme combines $20 million from EECA’s Community Renewable Energy Fund with $10 million from the Ministry. Schools selected for the programme will receive rooftop solar systems and, in some cases, battery storage, with around 150 schools also receiving energy management systems to help optimise energy use. Expression of Interest (EOI) are requested from interested parties. The EOI is split into two distinct but related parts: • Planning and Design • Delivery Tenderers may register for Planning and Design, Delivery, or both. The two services will be evaluated separately (Section 5) so that specialist planning and design firms and specialist installers are each assessed against the criteria relevant to their role. Further information is available within the tender documentation.
