Notice Title

The Energy Service framework 2023-2027

Notice Description

Welsh Government invites tenders for a place on a four year framework, split into two lots. Lot 1 will cover Energy Services and Lot 2 will cover Carbon Emissions Reporting. Suppliers will have the opportunity to bid for one or more lots. This is a replacement framework for the Energy Service Framework which was first established in March 2018. The aim of the new Energy Service Framework is to create a revitalised framework that builds in flexibility to incorporate additional decarbonisation actions in the future. Lot 1 covers the Energy Service and will incorporate technical advice, financial guidance, grant management,and the sharing of best practice with public sector and community enterprises on the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects, while building capacity and capability in others. Lot 2 covers Carbon Emissions reporting and will support the carbon reporting obligations for the public sector, a supplier with relevant technical knowledge is needed to manage and support the public sector community of practice, regularly update the reporting tool and guidance, collate and report on annual data submissions and make recommendations to the Welsh Government based on data submitted by public sector bodies. A four year no commitment framework will be awarded, with an annual call-off of varying value as needed. Flexibility is needed to ensure the Energy Service is able to adapt to changing priorities and growth in the relevant Welsh Government policy areas, as well as innovation in low carbon technologies, and changing market conditions. Call off requirements are to be agreed with the successful contractor annually, following their submission of a delivery plan, which should address the required outputs specified by the contracting authority. The service will provide support to Welsh Government on development of policy and operational activities, linking in with other programmes, for example in health, local government and education.
