## Summary

Sustainable Energy First (SEFirst) in collaboration with Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has initiated a public procurement process for the SEFirst Power, Gas and Water Supply Framework. The framework aims to facilitate the sourcing and placement of energy contracts for various lots, including Power - Fixed, Power - Flexible, Gas - Fixed, Gas - Flexible, Power Purchase Agreement - Flexible, and Water. Bidders can bid on one or more lots, and the framework covers call-off contracts within England, Scotland, and Wales. The total value of the framework is \u00a31,500,000,000.

This public procurement opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses operating in the energy sector to expand their operations. Companies involved in power generation, gas supply, and water provision would be well-suited to compete for the different lots within the framework. The procurement process includes a minimum 10-day standstill period and allows for direct appeals in case of disputes, providing a fair and transparent bidding environment for interested parties.
