The objective is to establish a four-year framework agreement for the wholesale supply of electricity on behalf of various public sector entities across England, Wales, and Scotland. This open procedure tender has a published date of 24th February 2022 and a tender period that ended on 29th April 2022. The contract is valued at £960 million and will begin on 1st October 2024, concluding on 30th September 2028. Key requirements include holding an Electricity Supply Licence issued by OFGEM throughout the contract duration. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the energy sector, including large electricity suppliers and SMEs focused on energy services. Businesses interested in participating should be capable of meeting mandatory requirements, service levels, and performance indicators, which are integral to the procurement process. Additionally, potential suppliers may find advantageous prospects through a secondary framework agreement via ESPO Trading Limited, aimed at third sector organisations such as charities and public sector mutuals, further broadening competition and enhancing supply chain diversity. ## Notice ESPO wish to create a four-year single supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of wholesale electricity supplies, with ESPO acting as an intermediary to buy electricity in the wholesale market on behalf of central government, local authorities, public and third sector organisations within England, Wales and Scotland. Supplier must hold and maintain an Electricity Supply Licence granted by OFGEM throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement. Upon award of contract, the successful Suppliers rating, as determined by use of a recognised credit rating agency, will be sampled and used as a baseline for contract monitoring. This rating will be monitored for variance against the baseline at least every month. In the case of any negative variances against the baseline, this will be investigated by ESPO accordingly. The successful Supplier must agree and adhere to a number of Mandatory Requirements, Service Levels and Key Performance Indicators which are provided in the tender documentation. Additional information: As a Central Purchasing Body as defined in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Framework Agreement is open for use by Public Bodies (defined at https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/) that also fall into one of the following classifications of user throughout all administrative regions of the UK: Local Authorities; Educational Establishments (including Academies); Central Government Departments and Agencies; Police, Fire & Rescue and Coastguard Emergency Services; NHS and HSC Bodies, including Ambulance Services; Registered Charities; Registered Social Landlords; The Corporate Office of the House of Lords, The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons; or any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament. Details of the classification of end user establishments and geographical areas are available at: https://www.espo.org/legal. ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders information only. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5488b66-adea-4fcc-93cf-6ee5598a915f | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Jul 2022 | | Submission deadline | 29 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | 1 Feb 2022 | | Award date | 18 Jul 2022 | | Contract period | 30 Sep 2024 - 30 Sep 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £960,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £960,000,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ESPO | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE19 1ES | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Enderby | | Westminster constituency | South Leicestershire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | TOTALENERGIES GAS AND POWER | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy ### Codes - 09300000 - Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy - 09310000 - Electricity ## Release History - 22 Jul 2022 at 09:23 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5488b66-adea-4fcc-93cf-6ee5598a915f - 19 Apr 2022 at 15:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34a9dbf8-5a84-413a-99a3-854f20f990c2 - 24 Feb 2022 at 12:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb91eb90-a7d9-4041-901c-c8c44be096dc - 12 Oct 2021 at 10:16 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cfcac9f-cd94-4a89-8ae6-6fd650d8fb1e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c5488b66-adea-4fcc-93cf-6ee5598a915f 22nd July 2022 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/34a9dbf8-5a84-413a-99a3-854f20f990c2 19th April 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cb91eb90-a7d9-4041-901c-c8c44be096dc 24th February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0cfcac9f-cd94-4a89-8ae6-6fd650d8fb1e 12th October 2021 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.eastmidstenders.org EastMids Tenders - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=b9b2e77e-452b-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/ EastMidsTenders Procurement Portal ## Notice URLs - http://www.espo.org/ - https://www.espo.org/ - https://www.espo.org/amfile/file/download/file/9608/ - https://www.espo.org/legal ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
