## Summary

The Bristol City Council is currently seeking bids for a Sleeved Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as part of their public utilities procurement process. This tender, numbered DN546402, is designated for the services industry and aims to facilitate the utilisation of power generated by the Council's wind turbines at selected council sites. The contract period is set to commence on 1st April 2022 and will run until 30th September 2023, with an option for a 12-month extension. Interested parties should submit their proposals electronically by 11th March 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in energy supply, renewable energy solutions, and related services, particularly those that can provide electricity distribution and control apparatus. Companies with expertise in power management, renewable generation systems, and scalable energy solutions would find this procurement particularly relevant, as the Council is exploring expansion options beyond the initial sites included in the agreement. Engaging in this tender could help businesses enhance their portfolio and expand their market reach within the public sector.

## Notice

From October 2021 Bristol City Council (BCC) has been looking to set up a Sleeved Power Purchase Agreement. This arrangement will allow power generated by BCC's own wind turbines to be directed (virtually) to nominated BCC sites. Initial demand is expected to be around 13 GWh/yr, initial generation also around 13 GWh/yr. It is proposed to establish the sleeved PPA with initially just the council wind turbines and the half hourly sites, but the contract must have provision to expand both generation and demand. This could include further half-hourly sites, further non-Half-Hourly and UMS sites (subject to confirmation), and additional non-BCC generation. In order to seek a wide range of potential bidders, it is proposed the sleeved PPA should be put to tender. The new contract is expected to run for 18 months, with an option for a one year extension (30 months max).
