Description
Please note: this is a Prior Information Notice and tender documentation is not available yet.
This framework will allow customers to access fixed price, fixed length energy contracts for Gas, Non Half Hourly Electricity and Half Hourly Electricity using a further competition approach.
Lot 1: Gas
Lot 2: Electricity - Non Half Hourly
Lot 3: Electricity - Half Hourly
We anticipate that there will be considerable interest in this new framework, as it offers clear benefits for customers who prefer the budgetary certainty that a fixed price offers, as exact prices are known for the full duration of the contract along with price protection if market prices rise.
Customers will be able to run further competitions between all awarded suppliers to the framework in order to compare multiple prices at once, ensuring the best deal.
Premarket engagement will be taking place throughout August and September 2018, and suppliers are invited to participate in our 'Request for Information' process via the ProContract portal in order to help us shape our approach to the market.
The framework agreement has the option to extend for up to a further 24 months. The total estimated value stated includes the option period.
