Notice Information
Notice Title
Supply of Energy and Decarbonisation Services
Notice Description
Crown Commercial Service (CCS), as the Contracting Authority, intends to put in place a framework agreement for the supply and administration of approximately 26 TWh of electricity and gas to meet requirements of over 1000 customers across c.90,000 meters. Note that these numbers could vary depending on standard market factors such as the number of customers accessing the agreement and the impact of energy management initiatives. It is anticipated that aggregated risk management strategies will play a key role in the new framework agreement, but CCS is also keen to explore opportunities related to alternative and supplementary models, such as the "Energy as a Service" concept. CCS also anticipates that the new framework agreement will incorporate requirements that help customers to align with developing energy and decarbonisation policy e.g. optimising on-site generation opportunities and integrating Power Purchase Agreements. CCS will also be looking to consider the inclusion of goods and services that are supplementary to energy procurement and supply, such as: - metering - carbon reporting/analysis - carbon reduction advice - siteworks - energy generation - energy bureau services - demand side response Please note that the above is for guidance purposes only and the strategy, scope and lotting structure of the agreement will be determined over time.
Planning Information
Market engagement will consist of supplier briefing webinars, written questionnaires and one to one meetings (face to face and/or virtual). Initial market engagement will be from June to August 2025, with further rounds of market engagement to be held later in 2025 and potentially into 2026 depending on procurement route chosen. Market engagement with customers and suppliers will include areas such as: - Reviewing customers' current and future product and service needs. - Evaluating potential structures for a new agreement to determine the most appropriate approach. - Ensuring alignment with new Procurement Act. - Assessing appetite and benefits of single-supplier versus multi-supplier agreements. - Investigating sleeving arrangements, call-offs, and their alignment with CNZ and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) strategies. - Understanding supply market offerings relating to complimentary services to supply. - Analysing wider supplier market developments and innovations, including current industry regulations and future changes. If you wish to participate in this engagement, please email: RM6390a@crowncommercial.gov.uk
