Supply of Energy 3

Procurement reference

RM6390

Procurement description

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Contracting Authority, intends to put in place a framework agreement for the supply and administration of approximately 26 TWh of electricity and gas to meet requirements of over 1000 customers across c.90,000 meters. Note that these numbers could vary depending on standard market factors such as the number of customers accessing the agreement and the impact of energy management initiatives.

It is anticipated that aggregated risk management strategies will play a key role in the new framework agreement, but CCS is also keen to explore opportunities related to alternative and supplementary models, such as the “Energy as a Service” concept.

CCS also anticipates that the new framework agreement will incorporate requirements that help customers to align with developing energy and decarbonisation policy e.g. optimising on-site generation opportunities and integrating Power Purchase Agreements. CCS will also be looking to consider the inclusion of goods and services that are supplementary to energy procurement and supply, such as:

- metering

- carbon reporting/analysis

- carbon reduction advice

- siteworks

- energy generation

- energy bureau services

- demand side response

Please note that the above is for guidance purposes only and the strategy, scope and lotting structure of the agreement will be determined over time.
