Tender Information:
The ITT was issued in accordance with the Open Procedure under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102. The ITT set out the information which was required by the client in order to assess the suitability of suppliers in terms of their ability to deliver the requirements of the framework.
The client sought bids from suppliers to participate in an electricity and gas portfolio services framework, covering the following lots:
1. Lot 1: Non-half hourly (NHH) electricity,
2. Lot 2: Half hourly (HH) electricity,
3. Lot 3: Gas.
The primary requirement for this framework is for the flexible procurement solution for non-half hour electricity portfolios (Lot 1), half hourly electricity portfolios (Lot 2) and gas portfolios (Lot 3) where clients are aggregated into a trade shape to enable consolidated trading. The electricity and gas shall be purchased via the wholesale market, and the prices shall be translated into fully delivered costs on a site-by-site basis. Within the aggregated portfolios, there should be a number of trading strategies available.
Currently, Inenco operate 3 forwarding buying options, and 1 spot buying option within each portfolio. Contracting authorities should have the ability to apportion volume across the strategies and the ability to switch between the strategies, however, this will be controlled by Inenco and will be limited to set times of the year. At the end of the trading process, the portfolio should be de-aggregated providing individual meters with prices reflective of their load profile.
The framework is to cover call off contracts made within England, Scotland and Wales, but excludes Northern Ireland. The framework is available for use by all contracting authorities as defined by Regulation 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 #102, and is also available for use by all current and future members of the central purchasing body. Please see the Additional Information section within this Contract Award Notice for further details. The final framework consists of 1 supplier per lot.
The estimated value over the framework period is anticipated to be up to 488 000 000 GBP excluding VAT, however this is an estimate only. The maximum levels of expenditure per lot are estimated to be as follows:
1. Lot 1: 200 000 000 GBP over the framework period excluding VAT;
2. Lot 2: 200 000 000 GBP over the framework period excluding VAT;
3. Lot 3: 88 000 000 GBP over the framework period excluding VAT.
These values are estimates only. The client accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies in the estimates provided. This is for information only, and no guarantees are given, nor are implied as to the value of business that will be placed with successful bidders participating in the resulting framework agreement. Award of a position on this framework to any supplier does not guarantee any contracts will be awarded to the supplier under the framework.
