Summary of the contracting process

Catalyst Housing Limited is conducting a tender for a framework agreement for the supply of electricity and/or gas aimed primarily at non-half hourly and half hourly supply points located across London, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, and Berkshire. The tender, titled "Framework for the supply of electricity &/or gas," was initiated to establish a structured supply system over a period of four years, commencing from 9th September 2015 to 8th September 2019. The procurement method is open, and the estimated value of purchases through potential call-offs during this period is expected to range from £32,300,000 to £90,000,000. Suppliers have been invited to submit offers for various lots, specifically targeting electricity and gas supplies, with a deadline for submission that has already passed on 28th August 2015.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for energy suppliers, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs), that can provide competitive pricing and value-added services in energy management, including renewables options. Suppliers capable of demonstrating strong account and billing management, along with a commitment to social value and innovative metering solutions, will be well-positioned to compete for call-off contracts as they arise within this framework. As the framework targets increasing supply requirements, businesses in the energy sector looking to expand their client base would find this tender particularly suitable for establishing long-term partnerships with a growing housing group.

Notice Description

The purpose of this tender is for Catalyst Housing Limited ('Catalyst') to establish a 'Framework' agreement with suitable electricity and gas suppliers for the supply of electricity and/or gas to, what in the beginning will be : i) approximately 980+ Non Half Hourly supply points (the majority of these supplies have a contract renewal point of 1st Oct 2015). ii) 5 or more Half Hourly supply points (the majority of these supplies have a contract renewal point of 1st Oct 2015). iii) and approximately 130+ gas supply points (the majority of these supplies have a contract renewal point of 1st Oct 2017). - that are mainly situated in the area of London, Oxfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. Over the 4 years of the framework agreement this number of supplies is estimated to increase by circa 5% each year in line with the projected growth of the Housing Group. ESTIMATED RANGE OF TOTAL VALUE OF PURCHASES realised through potential call-offs over the entire duration of the framework agreement is between PS3230000 to PS9000000. The contracting authority makes no guarantee that any contracts will be entered into at any subsequent 'call-off' stage. Contracts may be awarded following further competition (mini-tenders) between suppliers at subsequent call-off stages. There are 3 LOTS all or any of which can be tendered for: LOT 1: Half Hourly electricity supplies LOT 2: Non Half Hourly electricity supplies LOT 3: Mains gas supplies Those suppliers who are selected to be part of the framework, as a consequence of this tender, at a later date will be requested to make bids through a mini-tender on the lot(s) they have indicated. The award criteria for entry to the framework will be based on the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the criteria immediately below: Criteria (and weighting): 1. Account management / billing management (weighting 80) 2. Registration (weighting 30) 3. Invoicing (weighting 140) 4. Social Value (weighting 100) 5. AMR/Smart Metering (possible option in future call-offs) (weighting 100) 6. Provision of electricity from renewable sources. (possible option in future call-offs) (weighting 100) Please note we are not asking for any prices from suppliers at this time as we appreciate that come the time of any call-offs for any subsequent specific contracts market prices are very likely to have changed. But during any subsequent call-offs/mini-tenders for specific contracts members of the framework who are participating must submit prices and detail any other pertinent costs for the supply of electricity and/or gas and the related services/provisions. In the case of specific call-off contracts these will be awarded on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender in terms of the criteria above and price & cost.
