Summary of the contracting process

The buying organisation, London Underground Limited, is planning a procurement process for a TfL Renewable Corporate Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA Comet') in the petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other energy sources category. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a future notice date set for 11th October 2022. This opportunity presents a chance for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those involved in offshore wind, onshore wind, or solar energy, to bid for a contract that involves the procurement of 100-200 GWh per annum.

This tender from London Underground Limited aims to transition to net zero by 2030, creating opportunities for businesses to contribute to sustainable energy solutions. Companies involved in new build assets, renewable energy technologies, and energy supply services would be well-suited to participate in this procurement. The contract length of 15 years and the PPA structure being CPI-linked offer stable prospects for businesses looking to engage in long-term energy projects.

Notice Title

TfL Renewable Corporate Power Purchase Agreement ('PPA Comet')

Notice Description

TfL recently published a procurement for its first renewable PPA, 'PPA Comet', and has since withdrawn the opportunity. TfL are looking to re-launch the procurement, and recently conducted a short market questionnaire to better inform that activity. The subsequent re-launch was initially planned for October 2022, but due to the announcement of the Energy Prices Bill and the subsequent market uncertainty it has caused, we are pausing these plans to re-launch in the short-term. TfL will be monitoring the impact, and will be looking to re-launch as soon as is practically possible once this impact is better known. TfL remains fully committed to transitioning to net zero by 2030 and will look to re-engage with the market at the earliest possible opportunity. This addendum, and the details replicated in subsequent sections, is issued to inform the market of this change.

Please provide your response by 5PM on Thursday 6 October 2022.

Are you interested in bidding for this opportunity? [Yes/No] 2. Do you have a single project that is eligible as per the parameters set out in the table [Yes/No] If 'No', what is your biggest single eligible project that you would be interested in bidding for a CPPA opportunity? What volume would the project be capable of meeting? 3. Do you have any concerns with any of TfL's parameters? We are particularly interested if you have concerns with the delivery window, volume, or the contract length, but welcome all feedback. 4. If you don't have an eligible project or are not interested, why not? E.g. the delivery window is not suitable for you, public sector procurement processes, current market conditions, etc. Please give as much detail as possible. 5. If TfL's PPA procurements (now or in the future) were to run simultaneously with the Government's Contract for Difference auctions, would this deter you from taking part in TfL's PPA procurements? Please give rationale for your response."
