Description

This framework agreement will act as the vehicle through which central government and wider public sector customers will be supplied gas and electricity. The portfolio varies on an annual basis but our current best estimates are that the framework agreement will supply approximately 25 TWh per year of gas and electricity to approximately 1,150 public sector customers across approximately 86,000 meters. In supplying gas and electricity the supplier will provide customers with various supply administration services covering invoicing, query resolution and account management, as well as a range of services which will support customers in their net zero ambitions such as access to energy from renewable sources and to Power Purchase Agreements. The supplier will also support the delivery and execution of Crown Commercial Service’s energy trading requirements. The portfolio will include a range of customers from different sectors, and a range of different metering classes and profiles e.g. half hourly, non-half hourly, unmetered and BMU’s. A detailed list of meters will be published in a Portfolio Summary. This new framework agreement has replaced the existing Supply of Energy framework agreement (RM6011). Baskets of customers meters will transfer to the new framework agreement at different times over a twenty four month period between April 2024 and April 2026. It is CCS intention (although cannot be guaranteed) that each basket will be supplied through this framework agreement for a four year period. CCS will engage with the incoming and outgoing suppliers to coordinate the transfer. In addition to the transfer of baskets it is possible that a small number of meters might require supply through this new agreement prior to April 2024.

Lot Division

1 RM6251 - Supply of Energy 2 - Electricity Lot

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Contracting Authority, has put in place a framework agreement for the supply of approximately 13 TWh of electricity to meet requirements of 990 customers across c.53,000 meters managed via an aggregated, flexible, risk managed approach. The requirement covers all electricity meters. Growth in customer numbers could cause a rise in demand. Conversely, any energy demand destruction/ efficiency initiatives could reduce the figure over the life of the relationship.Existing volumes will be expected to transfer in stages as supply delivery periods (under the existing arrangement) expire and therefore initial delivery volumes may be significantly lower. Provision of goods, works and services in addition to the provision of electricity and gas supplies may also be required. It is envisaged that this will include, but not be limited to a wide range of procurement options and which allow for the greatest degree of control and transparency of pricing; direct access to trading service and access to Financial Services Authority regulated advisors; price to market options; flexible and electronic billing systems; sourcing of longer term price mechanisms (potentially acting as Agent); customer administration and query management, including site registrations, objection handling and ongoing maintenance of customer contracts; bespoke report generation; transparent balancing and settlement charges; new connections and site-works; metering; demand side management and innovations delivering energy savings; Automatic Meter Reading; Energy/Carbon reduction/management advice and guidance and implementation of recommendations (which may include sourcing of third- party services/technology); Export Agreements and Balancing Services, peer to peer (P2P) energy trading platform.
