This tender, classified under public utilities, is in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 11th March 2022. The expected value of the contract is £10 million, and it is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2022, with a duration of 18 months and a potential one-year extension. The initial power demand and generation are each estimated at around 13 GWh per year, presenting an opportunity to scale both generation and demand over time. This procurement process offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in renewable energy, energy distribution, and related services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. Firms capable of providing innovative solutions for power generation, distribution, and energy management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, potentially leading to long-term partnerships with the Council in enhancing sustainable energy practices across the region. ## Notice From October 2021 Bristol City Council (BCC) has been looking to set up a Sleeved Power Purchase Agreement. This arrangement will allow power generated by BCC's own wind turbines to be directed (virtually) to nominated BCC sites. Initial demand is expected to be around 13 GWh/yr, initial generation also around 13 GWh/yr. It is proposed to establish the sleeved PPA with initially just the council wind turbines and the half hourly sites, but the contract must have provision to expand both generation and demand. This could include further half-hourly sites, further non-Half-Hourly and UMS sites (subject to confirmation), and additional non-BCC generation. In order to seek a wide range of potential bidders, it is proposed the sleeved PPA should be put to tender. The new contract is expected to run for 18 months, with an option for a one year extension (30 months max). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bcc3104-3580-417d-b1db-b3dbb00d77ec | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Feb 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 Mar 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2022 - 30 Sep 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £10,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | GATESHEAD, | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE8 2ET | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Hotwells and Harbourside | | Westminster constituency | Bristol Central | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 65 - Public utilities ### Codes - 31200000 - Electricity distribution and control apparatus - 65000000 - Public utilities ## Release History - 9 Feb 2022 at 16:36 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bcc3104-3580-417d-b1db-b3dbb00d77ec - 7 Jun 2021 at 15:38 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b91af015-f2e2-4bb3-aea8-093258123b70 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0bcc3104-3580-417d-b1db-b3dbb00d77ec 9th February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b91af015-f2e2-4bb3-aea8-093258123b70 7th June 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.bristol.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
