Summary of the contracting process

Kent County Council, operating as LASER, has initiated a tender planning process titled "Corporate Power Purchase Agreements" within the energy sector. The procurement aims to establish an Open Framework for Corporate Power Purchase Agreements, with a focus on electricity procurement from sources like wind and solar energy across the UK. The process currently resides in the planning stage, with a market engagement notice released on 19 June 2026, and key engagement activities scheduled, including an opportunity for potential suppliers to request a meeting by 9 July 2026. The contract is notable for its high value, with a projected gross value of £1.5 billion, and spans multiple years from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2034, with a potential extension to 31 October 2035.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in energy solutions, particularly those offering innovative technologies in renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. The Open Framework approach allows for diverse organisational types to participate, from small-scale operations under 5MW to large projects exceeding 50MW. Companies with expertise in energy-efficiency consultancy, solar panel installations, or other sources of energy supplies will find this tender particularly beneficial for expanding their portfolios within the governmental sector. The tender process invites competitive participation, fostering potential growth through long-term contracts and the opportunity to be involved in significant infrastructure and energy development projects across the United Kingdom.
