Summary of the contracting process

Cheshire East Borough Council has successfully completed a tender process for a fully managed service covering energy supply, primarily gas and electricity, for a contract valued at approximately £6,000,000 per annum. The procurement process, undertaken through an open procedure, initiated on 17 February 2021, aimed to secure supply starting 1 April 2022 for a five-year duration. Key activities involved management services, including account management, billing, and site management. The award was made to West Mercia Energy, with the contract signed on 2 June 2021. This contract targets the UKD62 region and represents a significant opportunity for suppliers in the energy sector.

This procurement presents advantageous opportunities for businesses specialising in energy supply, management services, and consultancy, allowing them to engage in a long-term partnership with a local authority. Companies offering green energy solutions or advanced management systems would be particularly well-suited to compete. Given the scale of the project, which encompasses various community services including street lighting and schools, it is an excellent chance for businesses aiming to expand their portfolios within the public sector and contribute to sustainable energy initiatives.

Notice Title

CONTRACT FOR THE PROVISION OF A FULLY MANAGED SERVICE FOR ENERGY SUPPLY (GAS AND ELECTRIC)

Notice Description

The Council sought to make provision for its gas and electricity requirements from 1st April 2022 for a period of five years. The Council has now procured a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via a framework compliant with the Public Contract Regulations, which amounts to approximately PS6,000,000 per annum within its Corporate, Streetlighting and Schools portfolio including Academies. It will provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end to end billing and management service. It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy supplier.
