UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is exploring a renewable energy power purchase agreement for its electricity requirements. The procurement concerns energy and related services, including electricity and renewable generation, under one planned lot. The arrangement is intended for delivery to UCLH in London. The buyer is seeking market input from renewable energy developers, independent power producers and aggregators with relevant UK-based energy assets. The proposed arrangement will involve purchasing renewable power under an agreed offtake profile, with the detailed shape, contract structure and commercial terms to be developed through market engagement. This is a service procurement rather than a construction or equipment supply contract.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a non-binding market sounding, not an invitation to tender. UCLH expects to use market feedback to design a later formal tender, including the offtake profile, contract duration and structure. The planned contract period is from 4 January 2027 to 5 January 2037, approximately ten years. Market engagement is scheduled to run until 31 July 2026, with responses submitted through the buyer’s Atamis portal after registering interest against project reference C455376. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and is planned as one lot. No contract value or tender procedure has been set out.

The engagement is intended for renewable energy developers, independent power producers and aggregators that can offer relevant assets in the UK and demonstrate an acceptable credit profile. Suppliers should be prepared to discuss their ability to meet the proposed electricity offtake shape, contract tenor and commercial structure, and to explain preferred contractual arrangements. The buyer is seeking evidence of market appetite and delivery capacity, so businesses with operational or developable renewable generation assets, energy aggregation capability and experience structuring power purchase agreements are likely to be best placed to contribute. This is a preparation opportunity: participation will help inform the later tender but will not itself select a supplier.
