## Summary

South West Water Limited, part of the Pennon Group, is overseeing a procurement process titled "Purchase and Supply of Electricity," classified under the industry category of electricity, heating, solar, and nuclear energy (CPV: 09300000). This process aims to establish a framework with a single supplier for managing electricity supply across approximately 2,500 sites within the group, servicing regions such as Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, and more, from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The initiative, under the negotiated procedure with prior call for competition, encompassed a tender period ending on 4 February 2025 and is currently at the award stage as of 30 September 2025. The process includes flexible purchasing aligned with the group's hedging strategy and anticipates increased electricity volumes over time due to regional growth and infrastructure expansion.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in energy supply management, particularly those capable of supporting large-scale utility frameworks. Given the scale and growth projections of the Pennon Group’s energy requirements, this framework could be lucrative for suppliers looking to expand within the utility sector. Businesses with the capability to manage flexible supply and forward purchasing options would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. The procurement process also suggests potential for involvement in further acquisitions and restructuring within the group, presenting additional avenues for increased business engagement.

## Notice

South West Water Limited is seeking (on behalf of itself and other subsidiaries within the Pennon Group from time to time) to enter into a framework with a single supplier for the flexible supply and management of electricity to both regulated utilities and other subsidiary entities within the Pennon Group for a five year period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032. The ability to forward purchase volumes as part of the Group hedging strategy is required in the time preceding this period. The Pennon Group is a large consumer of energy across a portfolio of c. 2500 sites with a range of connections. The Pennon Group's sites provide drinking water and sewerage services to customers within Devon and Cornwall with additional drinking water only services to customers around Bristol, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Sutton and East Surrey. Current annual supply volumes are c. 450 GWh and it is anticipated that this will increase over the term of the framework due to growth in treatment quality and served population and also potential investments/acquisitions. At the time of this notice, the current subsidiary entities within the Pennon Group whose sites will covered by this procurement are South West Water Limited, Sutton and East Surrey Water plc, but bidders should note that this list of contracting entities which may call off supplies under this framework may change and/or increase over time in the event of further investments/acquisitions by the Pennon Group and/or any group restructuring.
