## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has completed its procurement process for the "Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) System," aimed at replacing its current system with a cloud-based solution to manage its energy portfolio. This procurement falls under the "Software package and information systems" industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The initial contract period is set from 3rd November 2025 until 2nd November 2027, with an option to extend for three more 12-month periods. The process was conducted as an open procedure, below the threshold, with CCS acting as the buyer. Although the tender reached the award stage on 7th October 2025, the contract was originally published on 11th November 2024, and the procurement has been awarded to the second ranked supplier due to a contract termination with the initially selected provider. The contract value is GBP 738,571.

This procurement presents substantial business growth opportunities for companies offering ready-to-deploy software solutions, particularly those specialising in energy management and risk assessment tools. The opportunity is especially relevant for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the project emphasises suitability for these types of businesses. With the possibility of extension, this tender offers ongoing engagement prospects for businesses capable of delivering scalable, efficient, and reliable software services to support CCS's market-driven portfolio management for over 1,200 public sector customers. Companies in the software industry focusing on public sector solutions would find this an attractive contract to pursue.

## Notice

The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used by Trading and Risk to manage the CCS energy portfolio for more than 1,200 customers across the Public Sector with a total spend of more than PS1.5 billion per annum. The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used to record trade and demand forecasts, calculate open positions and valuations based on market prices, and serves as Trading and Risk's 'single source of truth' for portfolio reporting and information. CCS was seeking to replace its current ETRM by sourcing a replacement, cloud based system. This was an off-the-shelf ready to deploy software procurement, rather than a software development project. The ETRM would support CCS's ability to provide its customers with risk managed products for power and gas. Additional information: Pursuant to termination detailed within the modification notice published on 24/09/2025, this contract is awarded to the supplier ranked second in RM6385 in replacement to ensure continuation of service. The Contract will be established for 24 months with the option for us to extend for 3 12 month periods (2+1+1+1).
