Description
ESPO are undertaking a procurement process to create a multi-supplier, multi-lot framework for the supply of gas and electricity on a fixed price (pence/kWh) and fixed term (1 year, 2 year etc.) basis, with geographical coverage across England, Wales and Scotland. ESPO are creating this framework in reaction to interest and demand in a fixed price solution from independent customers, schools or multi-academy trusts covering a number of smaller sites. Feedback to ESPO suggests that these customers would often rather a fixed price solution as this could provide multiple benefits; budgetary certainty across a fixed time period, decreased exposure to market forces such as oil pricing, and an increased flexibility of options when approaching the market for their energy requirement. Lot 1 - Electricity (Non Half Hourly) Lot 2 - Electricity (Half Hourly) Lot 3 - Electricity (Unmetered Supply) Lot 4 - Gas The supplier must at all times hold a valid Electricity and/or Gas Supply License (as relevant to the awarded lots) granted by OFGEM and any other qualification or license as may be required by legislation throughout the duration of the framework. ESPO will impose on economic operators requirements aimed at protecting the confidential nature of information made available throughout the procurement procedure (as permitted by Regulation 21(3)) and,before receiving that information, economic operators will be required to complete and return a Confidentiality Agreement, which will be available once economic operators have expressed an interest in the tender opportunity. ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt,not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only. To express an interest: (a) Go to www.eastmidstenders.org, (b) Register (c) Search for tender opportunity '190_19', (d) Express an interest.
