Lot Division

1 Electricity Fixed Price Supply Contracts
  • Value: £200M

An unlimited number of Suppliers (anticipated to be no more than 10) will be appointed to this Lot. Suppliers must hold a UK electricity Supply Licence and are tendering for appointment to Lot 1, which is to supply fixed price electricity for half hourly, non-half hourly and unmetered supply points and to the contracting authorities authorised to use this Framework agreement. Based on the interest already expressed in the Framework and an estimated take up, our best estimated for the value of the Call-Off Contracts to be awarded over the lifetime of the Framework agreement for this lot is GBP200,000,000. As detailed, however, no guarantee of business is implied by appointment to the Lot. For the purposes of this tender, fixed price electricity will be defined as electricity which is supplied based on a price which is predominantly fixed for the term of the Call-Off Contract at the point when the Call-Off Contract is awarded and the associated supply agreement entered into with the Framework Supplier. Awarded Suppliers will be required to demonstrate their ability to supply complex multiple site portfolios Additional information: Once awarded to the framework, suppliers will be contracted and future energy supply contracts will be awarded by way of mini competition. The criteria for award of both the framework lot and subsequent mini competitions are detailed in the procurement documents and framework agreement
