## Summary

North East Lincolnshire Borough Council has completed the procurement of Strategic Clean Energy Sourcing services, aiming to secure the supply of electricity and gas for various sites, including street lighting, from renewable sources. This procurement falls under the category of energy-management services, providing opportunities for significant cost avoidance amidst rising energy prices. The procurement process was conducted through a direct award method, justified by the exclusive capabilities of the supplier, ENGIE IMPACT UK LIMITED, in delivering the required services due to technical reasons and urgency. Located in Grimsby, the Council is focusing on maintaining an effective framework agreement with service continuity guaranteed until 31 March 2028, with the possibility of extension until 2029, delivering services primarily in the UKE13 region.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in energy management and renewable sources solutions, especially those able to cater to strategic clean energy sourcing frameworks. SMEs and larger enterprises with technical expertise in energy management services and a strong understanding of framework agreements might find participating in such initiatives beneficial. Engaging in this sector aligns with broader environmental sustainability goals and positions businesses with prowess in efficient energy solutions to leverage future collaborations and contracts within public sector energy procurement frameworks.

## Notice

The Council has established a framework agreement for the supply of electricity and gas, including both half-hourly (HH) and non-half-hourly (NHH) sites, and street lighting. This framework enables the Council to procure energy from renewable sources and consider low-carbon alternatives, resulting in significant cost avoidance given the recent increases in energy prices. The Authority's Regeneration Partner Equans appointed Engie Impact, under an internal company arrangement to deliver the Strategic Clean Energy Sourcing requirement for the Authority's gas and electricity framework.

### Procurement Information

1. Description of the Requirement: The Council has established a framework agreement for the supply of electricity and gas, including both half-hourly (HH) and non-half-hourly (NHH) sites, and street lighting. This framework enables the Council to procure energy from renewable sources and consider low-carbon alternatives, resulting in significant cost avoidance given the recent increases in energy prices. Equans appointed Engie Impact, under an internal company arrangement to deliver the Strategic Clean Energy Sourcing for the Council's gas and electricity framework. 2. Reason for Direct Award: The contract cannot be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure because Engie Impact is the only supplier capable of delivering the required services. The urgency is not attributable to any act or omission of the contracting authority and could not have been foreseen by the contracting authority. 3. Background: Equans appointed its group company, Engie Impact, under an internal company arrangement to deliver the Strategic Clean Energy Sourcing for the Council's gas and electricity framework. The Regeneration contract between Equans and the Council is shortly coming to an end, which will also terminate the arrangement between Equans and Engie Impact. However, the Council still requires the services provided by Engie Impact to ensure the framework can continue to be effective and procure gas and electricity for the remainder of the term until 31 March 2028. Given our obligation to deliver the framework to external parties such as schools, it is not feasible to change suppliers at this point in the framework. The position will be reviewed upon re-procurement. 4. Justification for Sole Supplier: Engie Impact is uniquely positioned to deliver the required services due to their existing involvement and expertise in the framework. Transitioning to a new supplier at this stage is not possible and would jeopardise the Council's commitments to external parties. Engie Impact's familiarity with the framework and their established processes ensure that they are the only supplier capable of meeting the Council's needs without interruption. 5. Conclusion: Given the critical nature of the services provided by Engie Impact and the necessity to maintain the framework's continuity, a direct award to Engie Impact is justified.
