## Summary

The Derry City and Strabane District Council has completed a tender for the supply of natural gas to various contract and tariff sites within their jurisdiction. This process was initiated under a limited procurement method, specifically negotiated without the publication of a contract notice, due to extreme market volatility affecting suppliers. The contracts were signed on 1 April 2022, and the arrangement is set to continue until 31 March 2023, or until market conditions permit a new tendering exercise. The contracting authority is based in Derry, Northern Ireland, with the procurement relating to goods within the energy industry.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in gas supply. Companies that can offer competitive pricing and flexible contract options in the face of current market instability would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders from the Derry City and Strabane District Council. The current supplier, LCC Group Ltd T/A Go Power, indicates a demand for reliable partnerships in this volatile market, which could benefit small and medium enterprises willing to navigate these challenges.

### Procurement Information

A further competition has been issued via an existing framework (procured via Open Procedure) for the supply of gas however due to the current political situation, none of the suppliers on the framework were willing to enter into a fixed price contract. Only two bids were received, neither of which were suitable, by the closing date of 28.02.2022. Due to the extreme and continuing market volatility, suppliers are unwilling to enter into contracts for the foreseeable future. Under the Energy Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, the incumbent suppliers will continue to supply gas to Derry City and Strabane District Council under a Deemed Contract. This arrangement will last until prevailing market conditions allow a new tendering exercise, or 31st March 2023, whichever is soonest.
