Procurement Information
In February 2025 NESO awarded a short term below threshold contract to Efficio Limited for a period of 3 months with a one month extension option which has now been executed - this contract expires on the 24/6/2025. The contract was designed to bridge the need for the services until the start of the new procurement which commenced in March 2025. NESO intended to publish a Transparency notices under F20 on Find a Tender Service. Due to the contract being under threshold we did not publish a contract notice and therefore could not comply with the requirement under that specific notice. In order to mitigate this NESO have published a VEAT notice under UCR regulations to allow for this extension. NESO terminated the March 2025 procurement for the provision of procurement services in June 2025 (procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04d52d) to appoint a long term replacement supplier. VEAT notice Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-04d52d sets out the rationale for this NESO continues to require the procurement services. A new supplier cannot be appointed in a manner that is compliant with the Procurement Act 2023. The loss of these services would result in NESO being unable to procure the services that it needs to undertake its activities and properly manage the existing contracts it has and would lead to the potential loss of services vital to the safe, effective and efficient operation of the national electricity network, causing NESO substantial inconvenience. NESO has now extended the current Efficio limited contract for the Provision of DD&T Procurement services in order assure critical business as usual activities can be maintained whilst we procure the required services for the future complying with PA2023. The contract is extended by 9 months from 24 June 2025 to 25 March 2026, the total value increased from PS264,600 to PS977,400
