This initiative, classified under energy supplies and distribution, aims to fill the gap in CPC's portfolio by establishing a direct purchasing framework for renewable energy from suppliers. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, having been published on 3rd March 2026, and utilises an open procedure through the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform. The opportunity spans various regions, including the United Kingdom and several international territories, with the tender set to close on 1st April 2026. The contract term is projected from 18th May 2026 to 17th May 2029. This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the renewable energy sector, particularly those involved in energy supplies and consultancy services. SMEs will find this framework particularly beneficial due to its open procurement method, which encourages wider participation. The collaboration with SE First allows for a comprehensive service offering via the Utilities Supplies & Services framework, enhancing market access for renewable energy providers. Companies with expertise in renewable energy supply and consultancy that can navigate these frameworks effectively are likely to find a competitive advantage. Interested parties should register on the MultiQuote platform to engage with this promising opportunity. ## Notice There is a gap in CPC's portfolio for a Framework to purchase Renewable Energy directly from energy suppliers. We are therefore running this procurement exercise to launch a Framework as a route to market for members. This will allow members to engage SE First via the Utilities Supplies & Services framework to provide consultancy services and then run a mini competition via the Renewable Energy Consortium Framework to award a renewable energy provider. We already have the Utilities DPS in place for fixed and flexible gas and electricity requirements, fixed water requirements, and a range of metering services. More information can be seen at: Utilities DPS | CPC. The implementation of the Framework will allow a full-service provision within the Renewable Energy sector for members. CPC are the Contracting Authority for this agreement, working in partnership with SE First. CPC will be using the MultiQuote e-Tendering platform to carry out this tender.
