|
 |
|
 |
|
|
Justification for the choice of accelerated procedureGas and electricity are globally traded commodities, and as such are subject to extreme volatility in pricing. Recent OFGEM announcements regarding the lack of capacity in the UK’s energy supply, allied to an ongoing need to make significant investment in the UK’s ageing energy infrastructure, have prompted a sharp increase in prices. The indications are that prices will continue to increase, and Bridgend College is acting urgently to secure best value for money in this challenging marketplace. |
