Explanation
The procurement officer approached a number of energy brokers with regards to a fixed price for gas commencing from the end of the current contract. At the time owing to the volatility in the energy market, the brokers approached were not able to offer fixed prices and advised that these would not be available until nearer the end of the current contract. One broker did come forward with a fixed price energy tariff for the supply of electricity for a fixed term that guaranteed the unit rates and standing charges over a 3 year 5 month period (from 01/11/23 to 31/03/27) protecting the authority from future price rises. This offer was time constrained due to the volatility of the energy market at this current time and therefore only available for a limited period.
