Void Energy Management Scheme

Description

As part of the preparatory work for a potential future procurement procedure, North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) is looking to engage with the market for a future Void Energy Management Scheme contract. Lot 1: Within any future potential future Void Energy Management Scheme contract., services required would involve the provision of gas and / or electricity to the Council on a short-term basis following the departure of a tenant from the Council’s housing stock to enable repairs etc.in preparation for new tenants and provide any new tenant with gas and / or electricity as their entry supplier. Historically, an average of 2,804 properties per year within the pilot, with an additional benefit of the free provision of 4 pay points. The energy used when a house is void should be supplied to the Council on a standard tariff plan. This is because the Council are the customer for only a short period and therefore could incur financial penalties in a fixed tariff plan. Therefore for best value, any future contract should be of sufficient length to ensure continuity whilst permitting the opportunity for best value in terms of tariff prices.
