Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Suffolk County Council, seeking a contract for "Renewable Electricity" within the electricity distribution services industry. This tender, classified under the CPV code 65300000, was intended for a rolling three-year period from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2025, covering the entire UK, with Suffolk as the primary delivery location. However, the tender has been cancelled and was at the award stage, where a single bid from EDF Energy Customers Ltd. was received but not awarded due to regulatory constraints regarding tender evaluation methods and the inclusion of an electronic auction. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing for participation from a broad range of suppliers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the renewable energy sector, especially those specialising in flexible and risk-managed electricity supply contracts. Companies with expertise in wholesale energy market transactions and the capacity to manage both Half Hourly and non-Half Hourly metered supplies would be well-suited to consider future contracts of this nature. The three-year purchasing strategy could potentially enhance stability and predictability for suppliers, enabling them to grow their market presence and customer base while adhering to forthcoming tender specifications.
