Notice Information
Notice Title
Renewable Energy Consortium Framework
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.
