- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
The Council seeks to make provision for its electricity and gas requirements from 1st April 2027 for a period of three years with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months. The Council intends to procure a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via an established framework or dynamic purchasing system that is compliant with either the previous or current
Procurement Regulations, which amounts to approximately £12,000,000 per annum within its Corporate, Unmetered Supply (UMS) and Schools portfolio including Academies. It will
provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end-to-end billing and management service. It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy suppliers.
Deliveries of services included are as follows:
• Account Management including customer service;
• Billing;
• Management of Sites and Metering;
• Data Management;
• Purchase of green electricity;
• Complaints Handling;
• Online Management Portal;
• Portfolio Reviews;
• Performance Requirements and Service Levels
The contract provides for the possibility that the contract value may be modified by an increase or decrease during the contract term, in line with one or more of the following parameters: energy tariffs; energy volume consumption changes; applicable VAT rates; adjustments to school and academy participation; and/or upon exercise of the option to take up green gas supply. As that potential for modification to contract value has been specifically provided for in the contract, and as such a modification would not change the overall nature of the contract, it shall be considered by the contracting authority to be a permitted modification under section 74 and Schedule 8(1) of the Procurement Act 2023,
without the need for a new procurement.
The values given in this notice are only estimations and take into account the extension option - the Council gives no guarantee or warranty or makes any representation as to the accuracy of any indicative volumes.
