## Summary

Derby City Council is conducting a procurement process titled "Request for Proposals for White Label Energy Agreement," aimed at establishing a local authority energy brand for its citizens. This initiative falls under the energy sector, specifically targeting the supply of gas and electricity products. Interested parties are required to submit their expressions of interest by 12:00 on 2nd February 2017, with the deadline for complete responses set for 14:00 on 3rd February 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 20th February 2017 and run until 19th February 2022, with activities taking place in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, utilising the East Mids Tenders e-tendering portal for submissions.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for growth for OFGEM licensed energy providers, as Derby City Council seeks partners capable of delivering a tailored white label energy product. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on local engagement and community-focused solutions. The successful bidders will not only contribute to community well-being but may also find avenues for future collaboration and expansion within the energy market.

## Notice

Derby City Council (DCC) has taken the decision to offer a trusted local authority energy brand to its citizens as an alternative. DCC is seeking bids from OFGEM licensed energy providers that can deliver a white label gas and electricity product. In December 2016 DCC and Derbyshire County Council conducted soft market testing to assess the viability of forming a white label arrangement with licensed energy providers. The soft market testing has helped us as an organisation clarify what is possible and how it aligns to our corporate goals. We have also taken the view that we will work independently, and not in conjunction with the County Council; however, we will explore possibilities for marketing in non-City areas in the future. As part of this exercise, we are inviting companies to state how they will meet our vision and then propose draft terms and conditions for a white label arrangement. This will take place using the East Mids Tenders e-tendering portal and you will need to register your company details at https://www.eastmidstenders.org. Registration is a quick and easy process done by going to the website and clicking on the 'REGISTER' link at the top of the page. Further details of the exercise, including how to respond, are available on the portal (Project ID: DN234632). Please note: organisations wishing to take part must express an interest by 12:00 on Thursday 2nd February. It is recommended you express and interest and obtain the documentation well before this time to allow sufficient time to prepare and submit your response. The deadline for responses is 14:00 on Friday 3rd February 2017.
