## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is initiating the tender process for the renewal of the (MOP) Meter Operator Contract, which is set to commence on 1st June 2021 and will last for 60 months. This contract, aimed at securing an accredited Meter Operator agreement for approximately 57 half-hourly electricity supplied meters, includes the supply and removal of meters, as well as maintenance and the provision of a communications link for consumption data to the Council's energy supplier. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a communication for future notices scheduled for 6th May 2021.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses involved in energy services, metering technologies, and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in providing solutions for regional or local authority contracts. Companies that can demonstrate compliance with accreditation requirements (such as P272) and have the capability to manage the technical and operational aspects of the Meter Operator role would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Engaging with Dumfries and Galloway Council will enable these businesses to expand their portfolios and establish a lasting partnership with the local authority.
