## Summary

Cheshire East Borough Council is conducting a procurement process for a fully managed service for energy supply, specifically gas and electricity, to commence on 1st April 2022 and continue for five years. The contract, valued at approximately £6,000,000 per annum, encompasses the Council's Corporate, Streetlighting, and Schools portfolios, including Academies. This open procedure tender is currently in the award stage, with the submission deadline set for 26th March 2021. The energy service provider will handle purchasing and management on behalf of the Council, thereby streamlining the procurement process.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those offering energy-management services or solutions tailored to public sector clients. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in energy procurement and management would be well-positioned to compete. The Council's approach allows for flexibility in energy purchasing, making this contract appealing to companies looking to expand their footprint in local government services.

## Notice

The Council is seeking to make provision for its gas and electricity requirements from 1st April 2022 for a period of five years. The Council intends to procure a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via a framework compliant with the Public Contract Regulations, which amounts to approximately PS6,000,000 per annum within its Corporate, Streetlighting and Schools portfolio including Academies. It will provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end to end billing and management service. It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy supplier. All correspondence and submissions should be received via www.the-chest.org.uk project ID DN519601
