## Summary

The procurement process involves ESPO (East Midlands Strategic Partnership) as the buying organisation, which is creating a framework for the supply of electricity under the tender titled "191_20 Electricity (Half Hourly Metered, Non Half Hourly and Unmetered Supply)." The procurement falls within the goods category, specifically electricity services, and is intended for use by various contracting authorities across England, Wales, and Scotland. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, having been published on 3 April 2018, with a total contract value of £750 million. The framework will run from 1 October 2020 to 30 September 2024, and tenders were required to be submitted by 12:00 midday on 1 June 2018. ESPO will operate as an intermediary to purchase electricity on behalf of central government, local authorities, and other public sector organisations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, especially those with the capability to supply electricity and hold a valid electricity supply licence granted by OFGEM. Companies that demonstrate experience in supplying energy to public sector organisations and those familiar with compliance requirements associated with large-scale frameworks would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Given its open procurement method, SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, allowing smaller firms to potentially secure business with large contracting authorities through this extensive engagement.

## Notice

ESPO intends to create a new four year single supplier framework for the provision of 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. ESPO will impose on economic operators requirements aimed at protecting the confidential nature of information made available throughout the procurement procedure (as permitted by Regulation 21(3)) and, before receiving that information, economic operators will be required to complete and return a confidentiality agreement, which will be available once economic operators have expressed an interest in the tender opportunity. The supplier must at all times hold a valid electricity supply licence granted by OFGEM, and any other qualification as required by legislation throughout the duration of the framework. As a central purchasing body as defined by the EU Procurement Directive 2014/24/EU ("the Directive"), the framework agreement is open for use by contracting authorities (as defined by the Directive) 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; or any contracting authority established by or under the Scotland Act 1998or any Act of the Scottish Parliament.
