## Summary

Cheshire East Council has concluded a procurement process titled "Fully Managed Energy Supply Service (Gas and Electric)" with a contract award notice issued on 1st June 2026. The process addresses the council's electricity and gas requirements commencing from 1st April 2027 for three years, with an optional extension of up to two additional years. The procurement falls under the "Services" category and adheres to an open procedure. Located in Crewe, UK, the council aims to secure a managed service provider to deliver comprehensive energy procurement and management services, including green electricity procurement. The awarded contract involves a yearly cost estimation of £10.1 million, encompassing various management services up to 2030, with potential contract modifications aligned with energy tariffs and consumption changes.

This procurement presents robust opportunities for large businesses in the energy sector that specialise in managed energy services and wish to expand their portfolios by working with public sector entities. Companies with expertise in energy procurement, management services, and sustainable energy solutions would find this a valuable growth opportunity, especially those capable of executing comprehensive service delivery that includes account and data management, billing, and enhanced customer service frameworks. Service providers such as West Mercia Energy are examples of entities well-suited to meet these contract demands, which also encourage a diverse range of suppliers in the industry who can ensure adaptability and systematic management within large-scale energy operations in public authorities.

## Notice

The Council sought to make provision for its electricity and gas requirements from 1st April 2027 for a period of three years with the option to extend for 2 x 12 months. The Council procured a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via an established framework or dynamic purchasing system that is compliant with either the previous or current Procurement Regulations. It will provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end-to-end billing and management service. It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy suppliers. Deliveries of services included are as follows: * Account Management including customer service; * Billing; * Management of Sites and Metering; * Data Management; * Purchase of green electricity; * Complaints Handling; * Online Management Portal; * Portfolio Reviews; * Performance Requirements and Service Levels The new procured service will cost PS10.1 million per annum, covering an annual volume of around 26 GWh of electricity and 45 GWh of gas. The Managed Service cost will be circa PS100,000 per annum whereas the Energy cost will be PS10,000,000 per annum (subject to fluctuations.) The contract provides for the possibility that the contract value may be modified by an increase or decrease during the contract term, in line with one or more of the following parameters: energy tariffs; energy volume consumption changes; applicable VAT rates; adjustments to school and academy participation; and/or upon exercise of the option to take up green gas supply. As that potential for modification to contract value has been specifically provided for in the contract, and as such a modification would not change the overall nature of the contract, it shall be considered by the contracting authority to be a permitted modification under section 74 and Schedule 8(1) of the Procurement Act 2023, without the need for a new procurement. The values given in this notice are only estimations and take into account the extension option - the Council gives no guarantee or warranty or makes any representation as to the accuracy of any indicative volumes.
