## Summary

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is currently conducting a tender process titled "20-133 Community Energy Switching Scheme" aimed at developing a community energy switching initiative. This scheme falls within the public utilities sector and seeks to alleviate fuel poverty among residents of Rotherham by connecting them with better gas and electricity tariffs. The tender, which is in the active stage of the procurement process, is valued at £7,500,000 and has a deadline for submissions set for 9th October 2020. The project is expected to commence on 1st March 2021 and run until 28th February 2024. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, encouraging participation from various entities.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses focused on energy services, marketing, and customer outreach, particularly small and micro-enterprises and voluntary community sector entities, who can play a crucial role in engaging Rotherham residents. By facilitating transitions to competitive energy tariffs, suitable suppliers can showcase their expertise in community engagement and service delivery within the energy sector. Competing businesses will not only help improve local energy affordability but also position themselves as vital partners in addressing fuel poverty challenges in the region.

## Notice

Rotherham MBC are seeking to identify a potential partner to develop a community energy switching scheme through a concession contract. The community energy switching scheme would be open to all Rotherham residents and the aim of the scheme is to reduce the number of households paying high tariffs for gas and electricity and consequently reduce fuel poverty. The awarded service provider will work with the Council to market and communicate the best available tariff and encourage potential customers who will benefit financially to switch to one of the tariffs. The service provider will work with customers to ensure they remain on the most competitive tariff available. The offer will be marketed and communicated through a variety of mediums to target all residents including homes in fuel poverty and hard to reach communities.
