### Lot Information

Lot 1

SBHA wish to enter into a Contract with a Utility supplier to supply gas and electricity via domestic tariffs to any of our domestic properties as they become void. Some of which may be transferred into the name of SBHA for a period of time, such as may be the case with long term void properties. It is SBHA's intention to award a contract to a single Supplier for the entire SBHA domestic void stock. The number of voids in the scheme is likely to vary throughout the Contract term, dependent upon the uptake of lets, demand for housing and the size of the housing portfolio, however as a guide the average void rate is c700 properties p.a.. The Tenderer must be a Utility supplier with the appropriate licenses to supply domestic Utilities in Scotland. Alternatively, such a licensed supplier may appoint an Energy Broker to act on their behalf to deliver this service and ensure that all relevant terms and conditions are applied.

Renewal: 1 x 12 months after the initial period of 36 months
