## Summary

Bristol City Council is seeking to appoint a supplier for a Sleeved Power Purchase Agreement as part of an open procurement process. This opportunity, valued at £3,000,000, is classified under the Energy industry category and aims to facilitate the supply of renewable electricity to various council sites in Bristol, England. The tender period ends on 9th May 2022, with the contract expected to commence on 1st June 2022 and run until 31st May 2023. The council's contact for this tender is Jane Keeley, and interested bidders are encouraged to engage with the procurement details provided.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in renewable energy services, especially those equipped to manage electricity supply and balancing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well suited to compete, as this contract requires expertise in handling both council and third-party generation alongside managing associated non-commodity charges. Bidders with capabilities in renewable energy management and solutions for electricity export to the grid would be advantageous for this procurement opportunity.

## Notice

Bristol City Council (BCC, the Council) is seeking to appoint a Supplier to provide 'sleeving' services to enable BCC's own and other locally generated renewable electricity to be virtually supplied to nominated BCC and other sites. This will include the sale and export of surplus electricity to the grid, import of additional electricity from the grid to make up for shortfalls in generation versus demand, and managing non-commodity charges and grid balancing obligations. The core requirement is to sleeve power from the Council's own generation to nominated Council premises, including managing the generation/demand imbalance. Bidders must also be able to provide the option to accommodate further non-Council generation in to this arrangement, and to provide power to additional groups of Council nominated premises. It should be noted that some of both Council and Third Party generation is expected to be exempt from the requirement to hold a Supply Licence provided for under Article 3(1) and Schedule 4 of The Electricity (Class Exemptions from the Requirement for a Licence) Order 2001. The Bidder is expected to support Exempt Supply arrangements under this exemption, especially in relation to the exemption from non-commodity costs relating to this exemption.
