This initiative is aimed at supplying electricity and ancillary services primarily to the local authority, education, and emergency services sectors within the United Kingdom. The procurement is at the Award stage, having been concluded with an active status on 26th May 2022. The contract period is set from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2027, with options to extend for an additional two years. The procurement follows an open procedure, targeting a total contract value of £2.6 billion, with an initial minimum threshold of £1.6 billion and an end date for tender submissions of 6th April 2022. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly for those in the electricity supply and energy services sectors, as it supports a long-term purchasing strategy amidst volatile market conditions. Companies eligible to participate must possess a commercial supply licence and be listed on the OFGEM approved supplier list. By focusing on sustainability goals, this framework also encourages suppliers that can assist end customers in reducing energy consumption and promoting energy efficiency, aligning with initiatives to mitigate carbon emissions and support the UK's net zero targets by 2050. ## Notice YPO are looking for a Supplier to be appointed onto a Framework Agreement for the supply of electricity, as well as related ancillary services, primarily for use in the local authority sector, education sector, emergency services sector and any of YPO's permissible users. This Framework is designed to meet the needs of both YPO and Other Contracting Authorities by establishing an agreement where the end customer will enter into an electricity supply agreement with the Supplier and the Supplier will supply electricity, as well as any ancillary services that the customer requires, direct to the end customer. Any potential tenderers must have a commercial supply licence and listed on the OFGEM approved supplier list. The Framework Agreement will cover the period from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2027 with two options to extend for an additional 24 months. The first decision to extend the contract period will be taken by January 2025 and will be dependent on satisfactory completion of all aspects of the contract to date, the current market conditions for this category and YPO's contracting structures. The maximum contract period will therefore be 8 years, from 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2031 (subject to an annual review, incorporating management fee negotiations and KPI performance). The justification for a 4+2+2 (possible 8 years in total) length Framework, is due to the complexity of the proposed Framework Agreement, taking account of the national procurement policy around tackling climate change and given the nature of the service/product, to ensure customers can gain the maximum benefits from using the Framework without compromising the potential for open competition in the wider market. Wholesale electricity prices are currently at the highest ever and having a longer Framework, will allow for YPO to operate a much longer term purchasing strategy without the complexities of sleeving to another provider. A longer term purchasing strategy will mitigate risk for our customers and YPO will be able to provide them with longer term budget certainty in a volatile market. We have also considered that the majority of our customer have declared climate emergencies and have net zero targets of 2030 and beyond and the UK Government itself has a legally-binding target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. Having a longer term partnership with an electricity Supplier in a framework format will support our customers on this journey, as one of the biggest contributors to carbon emissions is energy consumption. The collaborative approach with a Supplier for a longer period, will allow for support with reducing consumption/becoming more efficient, setting up effective power purchase agreements and potential for additional support on social value. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/982a71ad-6218-4de2-9703-0804ec8cbcc6 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 6 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2023 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,600,000,000 | | 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 | YPO | | Locality | WAKEFIELD | | Post town | Wakefield | | Postcode | WF2 0XE | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE45 Wakefield | | Local authority | Wakefield | | Electoral ward | Wrenthorpe and Outwood West | | Westminster constituency | Wakefield and Rothwell | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 09310000 - Electricity - 31682000 - Electricity supplies - 71314000 - Energy and related services ## Release History - 28 Mar 2022 at 11:55 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/982a71ad-6218-4de2-9703-0804ec8cbcc6 - 25 Feb 2022 at 13:29 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc7d7f05-fcb6-49c9-9f1f-93b951dadbb9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/982a71ad-6218-4de2-9703-0804ec8cbcc6 28th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cc7d7f05-fcb6-49c9-9f1f-93b951dadbb9 25th February 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://procontract.due-north.com Location of Tender documents - https://www.ypo.co.uk/about/customers/permissible-users YPO Permissible Users ## Notice URLs - http://www.ypo.co.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
