This exercise will provide an opportunity for the City to obtain insight into how participants might approach the delivery of the service in question. It also gives a useful early insight into the likely level of interest in a proposed project from that market. Participants must also note that a response to this notice does not guarantee an invitation to participate in this or any future procurement that the City may conduct, nor that the City will procure any such supply and services or accept any proposals offered. Any Procurement of the supply and services by the City will be carried out strictly in accordance with the Procurement Act (PA23). The City has developed a questionnaire (attached at the end of the portal advert) that they would like interested parties to complete and return via the https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/ portal.",

        "description": "The City aims to partner with a software provider to support management of utility spend and consumption, with the ultimate aim of reducing cost and carbon. This will support Climate Action Strategy (CAS) goals and objectives of Net Zero in our own operations by 2027. The following represent essential requirements which must be met by the supplier, who must be able to provide and manage both software solutions and invoice validation services. 1. Provide invoice validation services. This includes utilities on the City's corporate contracts and ad-hoc supplies. All invoices must be loaded by the contractor into the software. 2. Provide easily accessible and customizable dashboards for cost, consumption and carbon based on portfolio, site, utility, meter level and Fund. 3. Provide high consumption notifications for any utility/site/meter, based on invoice or HH data. 4. Ensure customer satisfaction by allocating a dedicated account manager and accountability for KPI performance. 5. Invoices to Accounts payable are provided in a file format requested by the City in order to upload to the City's payment system (SAP). This must be completed for all utilities including electricity, gas, district heating/cooling and water. The City is seeking a software that will leverage recent advances in technology to support energy and cost reduction, along with improved access of resources. To support energy reduction, alerts must be configured to notify the user of high or low consumption. To minimise costs, reports must be generated based on elements of supplier invoices (i.e, standing charges, CCL, water and sewerage). To improve City resource use, the City wishes to use the software for tenant recharging for the first time. This must be completed by, at a minimum, subtracting submeters from the main fiscal meter. The City wishes to form a strong partnership with a provider who is eager to support the City's ambitious climate goals by freeing up City's resources to pursue energy opportunities, rather than day-to-day administrative tasks such as updating meter serial numbers in the database and chasing suppliers for costs. This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system 'City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal' (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/) Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free. The estimated contract value given at sections 31 and 32 is for the full duration of the contract including the maximum possible extensions. The estimated annual contract value is therefore PS112500 exc. VAT",

D&B Overall Business Risk Minimum Revenue Requirement: The revenue requirement is calculated as the annual average revenue of the last two reported financial years, divided by the estimated annual contract value, as set out in the tender notice at section 31. Bidders will be required to have an unrounded result of '2.0' or greater. A financial year is taken to be of 12 months' duration; where this is not the case a pro rata calculation will be used to establish the 12 months' equivalent. D&B Overall Business Risk The City will obtain a credit report on D&B Credit using the Company Registration number provided in Q1.3.2 of the 'Potential Supplier Information'. As D&B information is updated regularly the City will run all the reports for this procurement shortly after the receipt of selection questionnaires to ensure fairness and transparency. Bidders who are assessed as 'Low', 'Moderate-Low', and 'Moderate' for the Overall Business Risk will pass this part of the Finance Check. Bidders scoring 'Moderate-High' or 'High' will be assessed against the information provided as part of the Qualification Envelope 'Finance Self-Cleansing' response provided. If no response was included in that section, the City may choose to seek a clarification from the Bidder. The City can use its discretion as to whether the Bidder has provided reasonable assurance to the City of its financial viability or if Mitigating Solutions are required.
