## Summary

The Cheshire East Borough Council is awarding a contract titled "Provision of a Fully Managed Service for Energy Supply (Gas and Electric)" for the procurement of gas and electricity requirements effective from 1st April 2019 for a duration of three years. This open tender process was completed with the contract award occurring on 17th December 2018. The total contract value is approximately £6 million per annum and covers services related to corporate needs, street lighting, and schools within the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 20th July 2018, leading to the establishment of a managed service that simplifies the procurement and billing processes.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy supply and managed services, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive energy solutions efficiently. Given the scale of the contract, companies that already have capabilities in handling large-scale electricity and gas supplies, as well as those that can offer innovative billing and management systems, would be well positioned to compete for similar future tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) might find potential in participating in sub-contracting or partnering scenarios to enhance service delivery and grow their client base within the public sector.

## Notice

The Council seeked to make provision for its gas and electricity requirements from 1st April 2019 for a period of three years. The Council intended to procure a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via a EU compliant framework, which amounts to approximately PS6m per annum within its Corporate, Street lighting and Schools portfolio (including Academies).It will provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end to end billing and management service. It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy supplier.
