Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Crescent Purchasing Limited is for a Renewable Energy Consortium, aimed at enhancing renewable energy procurement options for its members. As part of its strategy to expand the portfolio of agreements, the Crescent Purchasing Consortium is rolling out this framework, allowing its members to directly purchase renewable energy from suppliers. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure and reached the award stage as of 2nd July 2026, following its initiation on 6th March 2026. This framework agreement spans regions across the United Kingdom, focusing on electricity distribution and related services, and it guarantees provision until 17th May 2029, with a possible one-year extension. The framework functions under the Utilities Special Regime, ensuring compliance and cost effectiveness due to the collective purchasing power of its participants.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses, especially those within the renewable energy sector, including both large and SME suppliers. Companies offering flexible and fixed electricity or related consultancy services are well-suited to benefit from this framework. The agreement encourages business growth through its structured approach that allows smaller organisations to compete via mini competitions, promoting innovation and cost savings in sustainable energy provision. The existing collaboration with Sustainable Energy First for consultancy services further ensures potential growth in strategic partnerships and enhanced market access for suppliers willing to engage with the Crescent Purchasing Consortium's extensive network of members.

Notice Title

Renewable Energy Consortium

Notice Description

This process is a new tendered area to the CPC's portfolio of agreements. The opportunity for this Framework arose from the current CPC framework for Utilities Supplies & Services, of which Sustainable Energy First (SE First) are the sole supplier. SE First have over 50 years of experience in energy and business utility management and now operate as the largest privately owned sustainability consultancy in the UK. There is a gap in CPC's portfolio for a Framework to purchase Renewable Energy directly from energy suppliers. We have run this procurement exercise to launch a Framework as a route to market for members. This will allow members to engage SE First via the Utilities Supplies & Services framework to provide consultancy services and then run a mini competition via the Renewable Energy Consortium Framework to award a renewable energy provider. We already have the Utilities DPS in place for fixed and flexible gas and electricity requirements, fixed water requirements, and a range of metering services. More information can be seen at: https://www.thecpc.ac.uk/services/frameworks/utilities-dps The implementation of the Framework will allow a full-service provision within the Renewable Energy sector for members. CPC are the Contracting Authority for this agreement, working in partnership with SE First. The purpose of this Framework is to give CPC members a compliant route to market. The collective spending power of members utilising CPC frameworks is harnessed to drive down costs, which often allows for savings delivery which our membership otherwise would be unable to achieve individually. The scope of the agreement will provide a portfolio procurement option for Renewable Energy.
