## Summary

The procurement process initiated by the Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation (ESPO) is for the tender titled "512_21 Provision of Energy Utility Meter Services". This public procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on meter reading services. The framework agreement is intended for a duration of four years, running from 16 August 2021 to 15 August 2025, and it is designed to be utilized by various public bodies across the UK, including local authorities and educational establishments. The open procedure for submission is active, with an end date for tenders set on 11 June 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in energy utility services, particularly those offering meter operations, automated meter reading, and data aggregation services. Firms with expertise in providing half hourly and non-half hourly electricity meter services, as well as gas meter services, would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, third-sector organisations that are linked to ESPO's commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, may find further avenues for growth through potential subsequent commercial agreements following the framework's establishment.

## Notice

ESPO wishes to create a four-year multi supplier framework agreement for the provision of Half Hourly Meter Operator and Data Services, Non-Half Hourly Meter Operator and Data Services and Gas AMR Meter Operator and Data Services. The framework will be in place for a period of 4 years with no further extension option. It is anticipated that between 1 and 3 suppliers per lot shall be awarded a place on the framework, or a sufficient number to provide national coverage. ESPO has established a commercial trading company, ESPO Trading Limited, whose target clients are third sector organisations such as national and local charities, public sector mutual organisations and other organisations involved in the delivery of services to or for the public sector. The successful Supplier may be asked to enter into an additional separate framework agreement (the Second Framework) with ESPO Trading Limited on materially similar terms to that found in the tender pack to be entered into by ESPO itself. Any Second Framework agreement will be a purely commercial agreement and will, for the avoidance of doubt, not be governed by the Public Contract Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. ESPO Trading Limited may enter into the second framework agreement with the successful supplier and make it available to third sector clients who themselves are not required to follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or other public procurement legislation. Accordingly, this is provided for bidders' information only.
