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.
