Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves ESPO (East Midlands Strategic Partnership) as the buying organisation, which is creating a framework for the supply of electricity under the tender titled "191_20 Electricity (Half Hourly Metered, Non Half Hourly and Unmetered Supply)." The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically electricity services, and is intended for use by various contracting authorities across England, Wales, and Scotland. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, having been published on 3 April 2018, with a total contract value of £750 million. The framework will run from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2024, and tenders were required to be submitted by 12:00 midday on 1 June 2018. ESPO will operate as an intermediary to purchase electricity on behalf of central government, local authorities, and other public sector organisations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, especially those with the capability to supply electricity and hold a valid electricity supply licence granted by OFGEM. Companies that demonstrate experience in supplying energy to public sector organisations and those familiar with compliance requirements associated with large-scale frameworks would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given its open procurement method, SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, allowing smaller firms to potentially secure business with large contracting authorities through this extensive engagement.
