Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, managed by Rossendale Borough Council, involves an Electricity Supply Contract aimed at delivering electricity under the YPO Access Flex Streamline Electricity Supply Framework. The procurement falls in the goods category, specifically covering electricity (CPV Code: 09310000). The tender has reached the award stage, with the contract having been signed on 1st October 2025. It encompasses multiple regions across the UK, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The process was conducted via a limited procurement method, involving a direct call-off procedure without a prior publication of a competition notice, justified under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The awarded supplier is Npower Commercial Gas Limited, with the contract marked as active and valued at £447,440.

This tender presents prime opportunities for businesses involved in electricity supply and management services, particularly those with capabilities in managing REGO-backed electricity, account management, data aggregation, and metering services. Large-scale suppliers who can handle the complexities of flexible electricity supply and pricing management are well-suited for this contract. Although the tender was not open to a broad competition, businesses that are part of such frameworks or those looking to position themselves for similar opportunities in the future should take note of the procedural and regulatory compliance necessary for direct awards. Engaging with regional councils and understanding framework agreements like this could position businesses to compete in forthcoming tenders effectively.
