## Summary

The ESPO (East Midlands Procurement Organisation) is planning a tender for the "191_20 Electricity (Half Hourly Metered, Non Half Hourly and Unmetered Supply)" contract, which aims to establish a four-year single supplier framework for electricity provision. This contract will cover various territories across the United Kingdom, including England, Wales, and Scotland, with a total budget of £750 million. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the contract period set to commence from 1st October 2020 and conclude on 30th September 2024. Interested parties should express their interest by registering on the East Mids Tenders platform before the future notice date of 14th June 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the energy sector, including electricity suppliers and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, given the expansive reach of ESPO as a central purchasing body for public bodies. By participating in this framework agreement, businesses can grow their portfolios and establish long-term relationships with various public sector clients across the specified regions.
