Summary of the contracting process

The Belfast Harbour Commissioners (BHC) initiated a public procurement process for the "Supply of Electricity (Metered Supply Points)" within the electricity industry category, located in Belfast, UK. The tender is structured into four lots, including options for non-renewable and 100% renewable electricity supplies for 2 to 3-year contracts. This procurement was governed by a selective procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. Bidders must hold a licence to supply electricity as of the pre-qualification deadline, ensuring they meet the eligibility requirements. The tender period ended on 22 July 2021, and BHC will only award a single contract among the competing lots.

This procurement opportunity is ideal for electricity suppliers, particularly those specialising in renewable energy solutions, as BHC is looking to diversify its power sourcing. Companies that can demonstrate the capability to supply significant volumes of electricity—especially those with a track record in managing large-scale energy contracts—would be best suited to compete. This process not only aims to meet BHC’s substantive operational needs but also allows suppliers to establish long-term contracts in a high-demand market, potentially leading to significant business growth.

    "description": "This contract is being procured competitively in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as amended). The procedure to be followed for this procurement is the negotiated procedure. Bidders who wish to participate in this procurement will be required to provide contact details before downloading the tender documents. Bidders who fail to provide their details to BHC or register in this manner will not receive any clarifications or updated information provided by BHC during the tender process. The costs of responding to this notice and participation in the process will be borne by each bidder. All discussions and correspondence will be deemed strictly subject to contract until a formal contract is entered into. The formal contract shall not be binding until it has been signed and dated by the duly authorised representatives of both parties. This tender process has been structured in 4 lots, as described above. Bidders are permitted to apply for one or more lots, and there is no limit on the number of lots which may be applied for. Bidders should note however that BHC will not award a contract for all of the lots. It is BHC's intention following conclusion of the tender process to award a single contract for either: (a) lot 1 - non-renewable supply (2 year contract); (b) lot 2 - 100% renewable supply (2 year contract); (c) lot 3 - non-renewable supply (3 year contract); or (d) lot 4 - 100% renewable supply (3 year contract). The Invitation to Negotiate documentation made available in draft form upon publication of this notice details the criteria and process to be adopted to determine which lot BHC will award a contract for. To clarify, if a bidder is willing and able to supply both non-renewable and/or 100 % renewable electricity for a duration of 2 and/or 3 years, it is envisaged that, to maximise the bidder's chances of success, the bidder would apply for all lots. Please note that BHC reserves the right to terminate the tender process for any lot at any time, not to award a contract for any lot(s) and furthermore, to award a contract for part of a lot, acting at its discretion.",
