## Notice

This contract will be for the supply of 100 percent green Unmetered Electricity for 12 months. The anticipated commencement date shall be 1st April 2023. The Contract will be utilised by the following clients: * Department for Infrastructure (DfI); * NI Water (NIW); * The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI); * Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE); and * Translink A bid must be provided for a 12 month term (as detailed within the pricing schedule) for 100 percent green unmetered electricity. Each Client will be wholly responsible for the performance of its obligations under the contract. As CPD and its Clients are committed to the Central Government Energy Management Strategy and Action Plan to 2030 Contractors must provide 100 percent green electricity. This commits all Central Government bodies to reduce costs and consumption consistent with draft Programme for Government (PFG) indicators on greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing security of supply. This is delivered through a target to reduce net energy consumption by 30 percent by 2030 and to spend no more on energy in 2030 as we do today. In addition Department for Economy (DfE) has published an issues paper considering how best to advance proposals for an energy strategy that will enable new and challenging decarbonisation targets to be met. Not least among these is the UK Government legal requirement to achieve "net zero carbon" by 2050.

Consequently, the retrofit projects will have an impact on this contract as they will have a direct effect on the consumption of unmetered electricity. The rates submitted must be honoured for the duration of the contract despite the likelihood of a reduction in the annual usage, the supplier should take this into consideration when submitting their response.
