## Summary

The procurement process involves West Mercia Energy, a joint committee comprising Shropshire Council, Worcestershire County Council, Telford & Wrekin Council, and Herefordshire Council, which seeks to establish a framework agreement for the supply of electricity on a flexible basis, along with associated services. The contract, amounting to £500 million, commenced on 1st December 2018 and will run until 31st March 2024, with the supply period starting on 1st April 2020. The tender was awarded following an open procurement method, and the award notice was published on 10th December 2018, shortly after the tender period closed on 30th November 2018.

This framework agreement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy supply and related services, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that are well-equipped to meet the requirements of flexible electricity provision. Given the substantial value of the contract and the duration, businesses looking to enhance their market presence in the energy sector can leverage this opportunity to establish long-term partnerships with local authorities across the regions of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Worcestershire.
