Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ards and North Down Borough Council has successfully completed a tender for the supply of electricity to its various sites, classified under the goods category within the electricity industry. This procurement process was characterised as a limited tender, initiated due to extreme market conditions that deterred suppliers from entering fixed-price contracts. The arrangement, which commenced on April 1, 2022, is subject to review and will remain in effect until a new tender can be conducted or until March 31, 2023, whichever comes first. The relevant procurement activities were conducted in Bangor, Northern Ireland, with a total contract value of £845,000 for both half-hourly and non-half-hourly metered supplies.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the electricity supply market, especially those who can offer competitive pricing amidst the uncertain market environment. Suppliers with strong capabilities in energy provision, especially those familiar with fixed-price contracts or willing to explore flexible arrangements, would be well-positioned to compete. Given the ongoing volatility in energy markets, businesses that can provide innovative solutions or adapt quickly to changing conditions may find this to be a fruitful avenue for growth.
