Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) has invited expressions of interest from qualified companies to join a solar power initiative in Ghana. The Phase-I scheme covers supply, delivery and installation of 645 Public Sector Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems and is intended to be executed by TCIL through a proposed registered branch in Ghana. TCIL will act as lead partner and seeks a backend partner or consortium member to support bid preparation and project execution if the contract is awarded.

Interested firms must demonstrate substantial energy sector experience and meet financial eligibility criteria. Applicants should have an average annual turnover over the past five years equal to at least 30 per cent of the estimated value of the lots they bid for and must show completion of at least three similar contracts in the last six years, each valued at a minimum of USD 100,000. Technical eligibility requires completion of at least three rooftop solar projects exceeding 100 kW in the same six-year period.

The EOI was published on three June 2026, with clarifications allowed until eight June 2026; online submissions opened on three June and close on nine June 2026 at 12:00 PM IST. Technical bids will be opened on nine June at 1:00 PM IST and the date for financial bids will be announced later. The project is divided into nine regional lots, each requiring a separate bid security, with EMDs ranging from USD 30,000 to USD 100,000 and validity of 180 days; Lot one in Greater Accra attracts the highest EMD while Lot nine for Savannah and Upper West attracts the lowest.

The selected partner must provide a back-to-back performance bank guarantee or equivalent security matching the guarantee submitted by TCIL to the client in Ghana. Commercial, technical and operational obligations will be managed on a back-to-back basis, with payments and liabilities linked to fund releases received by TCIL from the project owner to ensure alignment during implementation. Qualified companies are invited to submit EOIs in line with the published schedule.
