Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is conducting a procurement process for the supply of electricity across various sites within its jurisdiction. This tender, classified under the goods category with a CPV code of 09310000, has reached the award stage as of 1st April 2022. The contract will remain effective until 31st March 2023. The procurement was carried out through a limited method, specifically a negotiated process without public notice, due to extreme market volatility and a lack of suitable bids in a previous exercise.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for electricity providers, particularly those equipped to manage the challenges of the current market conditions. Companies specialising in energy supply, especially those who can offer flexible pricing or innovative solutions in response to market fluctuations, would be well-positioned to compete. The ongoing needs of Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council for reliable electricity supply will favour suppliers capable of demonstrating stability and adaptability in their contracts.

Procurement Information

A further competition had been issued via an existing framework (procured via open procedure) for the supply of electricity, however, due to the current geopolitical situation, none of the suppliers on the framework were willing to enter into a fixed price contract and no bids were received by the further competition closing date of 28.02.2022. Due to the extreme and continuing market volatility, suppliers are unwilling to enter into contracts for the forseeable future. Under Electricity (Northern Ireland) Order 1992, Electric Ireland and SSE Airtricity, as the incumbent suppliers, will continue to supply electricity to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council under a Deemed Contract. This arrangement will last until prevailing market conditions allow a new tendering exercise to be undertaken, or until 31st March 2023, whichever is soonest.
