This contracting process falls under the goods category, specifically for Mains Gas and Electricity. The procurement stage is currently active and adheres to an accelerated negotiated procedure due to time constraints; submissions must be submitted by 3rd February 2017. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2017 and will span three years, with possible extensions up to two additional years. Prospective suppliers should note that the estimated expenditure for the gas supply lot is £40 million and £15 million for electricity over the contract duration. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in utility supply, particularly those experienced in flexible agreements for gas and electricity. Suppliers that can effectively demonstrate their capacity to meet regulatory requirements and deliver sustainable solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete. The open nature of this tender allows firms to bid on one or both lots, targeting suppliers capable of fulfilling large-scale energy contracts across various regions of the United Kingdom. ## Notice The ITT is issued to establish a flexible electricity and gas supply agreement for the University of Manchester. PLEASE NOTE: The procurement process implements the accelerated procedure as defined under regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102 (PCR 2015). This ITT process has followed the accelerated procedure to allow the agreement to be placed in suitable time to allow for a transfer of supplies (if required) before the start date. The agreement needs to be in place by the start of March to allow the incoming supplier (should it be a change from the incumbent) enough time to fulfil their regulatory requirements to get the University of Manchester's meters into their jurisdiction. Following the standard open procedure timeline referenced in regulation 27 (2) of the PCR 2015 would not allow this to happen prior to the 1st April and the University's current agreement expires on 31st March. The contracting authority for this tender is the University of Manchester. The tender process and resulting agreement is managed by Inenco, acting as the agent for the University. The agreement is three years in duration from the commencement date, with an option to extend by up to two 12 month periods beyond this.
