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.
