Notice Information
Notice Title
Renewable Energy Consortium
Notice Description
There is a gap in CPC's portfolio for a Framework to purchase Renewable Energy directly from energy suppliers. We are therefore running 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: Utilities DPS | CPC. 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. CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender. In order to express your interest in this tender and obtain the tender documents, please register or log in at: https://suppliers.multiquote.com/Page/Login.aspx If you have any issues when using MultiQuote, please contact Elcom Ltd on 020 3920 8054 or email support@elcom.com
