Lot Information

RM6251 - Supply of Energy 2 - Electricity Lot

Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Contracting Authority, intends to put in place a framework agreement for the supply of approximately 23 TWh of electricity and gas to meet requirements of 820 customers across c.73,000 meters managed via an aggregated, flexible, risk managed approach. The requirement covers all gas and electricity meters. Growth in customer numbers could cause a rise in demand. Conversely, any energy demand destruction/ efficiency initiatives could reduce the figure over the life of the relationship. Existing volumes will be expected to transfer in stages as supply delivery periods (under the existing arrangement) expire and therefore initial delivery volumes may be significantly lower. Provision of goods, works and services in addition to the provision of electricity and gas supplies may also be required. . The electricity lot will feature PPA balancing and shaping services. The gas lot will be more comparable to the current agreement.
