## Summary

The procurement process titled "Export of electricity from Merrion generator" is initiated by Leeds City Council, located in Leeds, United Kingdom. Currently in the planning stage, this tender aims to facilitate the generation and export of electricity using a 2MW gas-fired generator. The project has a designated budget of £22,522 and is intended to create opportunities for generating income through electricity sales to the national grid during peak pricing times. An important deadline for this process is the engagement end date, set for 23rd February 2018.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those involved in energy generation, electricity supply, and maintenance services of energy generation equipment. Companies that specialise in gas-fired generators or energy management systems would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, businesses offering consultancy services in energy efficiency or procurement strategies could also find a valuable niche in this procurement process, positioning themselves for potential growth as public sector energy initiatives expand.

## Notice

In April 2015, Executive Board approved PS3.1m to fund a 2MW gas-fired electricity generator with heat recovery. This gave LCC an opportunity to generate our own power when electricity is more expensive during peak times; and also generate surplus power to export and sell to the national grid at peak times when other consumers are paying premium prices. The purpose of the investment in the generator aimed to increase value for money. Maintenance of the equipment will involve an external contractor, and supervision/switching algorithms will be provided by external specialist software operators, the costs of which are incorporated in to the business case. LCC will: * Generate income by exporting electricity onto the national grid, or to other LCC buildings, when energy prices are favourably high; and * Minimise the cost of energy procurement for LCC as a whole, by changing the consumption pattern significantly
