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 can be found in the Portfolio Summary.

This new framework agreement will replace 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.

All estimates of values provided within this document itself are best estimates and as such should not be considered as guaranteed.
