This Market Sounding Exercise aims to provide potential bidders with insights into the council's service requirements. Interested organisations must review the draft specification and respond to questions by Wednesday 22nd February at 12 noon. The procurement method is described as 'Other', with the tender period ending on 22nd February and the contract period starting on 23rd February. This tender for the supply of electricity and gas from Leeds City Council presents an opportunity for energy and related services companies to secure a significant contract. Businesses in the electricity and gas sector, particularly those offering energy-related services, would be well-suited to compete. The deadline for responding to the questions is critical in finalizing the council's tender documents, allowing companies to tailor their bids to meet the council's requirements and potentially grow their market presence. ## Notice Leeds City Council's current electricity and gas supply contracts will expire on the 31st March 2024, and as such the council will be undertaking a procurement exercise to appoint an organisation to provide these services. This Market Sounding Exercise is intended to provide organisations interested in tendering for the contract and working with the council with an understanding of the scope and requirements that the council will be seeking. Part 1 of the attached MSE sets out a draft of the key sections of the council's services specification, but it should be noted that the specification has not yet been finalised and is subject to change. However, it is expected that it will on the whole remain the same when the tender documents are issued. Part 2 of the MSE contains a number of questions in relation to the specification that potential bidders are asked to respond to. Responses to these questions will help to finalise the specification and service requirements. You are kindly asked to review the draft specification and respond to the questions within Part 2 no later than Wednesday 22nd February at 12 noon. The council will then review responses to the questions and finalise its tender documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0c2fed6-3cbb-4be8-a8da-f085b80ce764 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Feb 2023 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Feb 2023 - 24 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | LEEDS CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 1UR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Little London & Woodhouse | | Westminster constituency | Leeds Central and Headingley | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09121200 - Mains gas - 09310000 - Electricity - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 8 Feb 2023 at 14:39 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0c2fed6-3cbb-4be8-a8da-f085b80ce764 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f0c2fed6-3cbb-4be8-a8da-f085b80ce764 8th February 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=59691&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104105 User / Company ## Notice URLs - https://www.leeds.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
