Notice Information
Notice Title
Purchasing, Distribution and Administration of Solid Fuel Benefits
Notice Description
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity in relation to a potential requirement to support the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero ("DESNZ") deliver its legal obligations in relation to historic concessionary fuel liabilities. DESNZ wishes to commission a contract to manage the purchasing, distribution, and administration of solid fuel benefits to qualifying individuals under the National Concessionary Fuel Scheme (NCFS). We are looking to contract a supplier for up to 6 years (likely to be split into an initial 3 year term with an option to extend for an additional 3 years subject to requirements) to manage all aspects of the solid fuel supply element of the NCFS to around 3400 concessionaires who receive their concessionary fuel entitlement through a delivery of solid fuel. This number is declining in line with mortality rates. We expect the contract to commence on 29th March 2025 when a predicted 2680 concessionaires will remain. It is a demand led contract based on decreasing numbers with a number of variables and uncertainties. We therefore require a flexible service which allows for a decrease of the business and unpredicted changes in requirements. Responses need to be submitted by Monday 20th November 2023 13:00, following this the notice will end. Additional information: Please provide answers to the questions as an uploaded PDF attachment. Deadline for responses and closure of PIN will be the Monday 20th November 2023 13:00
