Tender description

ESPO wish to create a four-year single supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of wholesale electricity supplies, with ESPO acting as an intermediary to buy electricity in the wholesale market on behalf of central government, local authorities, public and third sector organisations within England, Wales and Scotland. Supplier must hold and maintain an Electricity Supply Licence granted by OFGEM throughout the duration of the Framework Agreement. Upon award of contract, the successful Suppliers rating, as determined by use of a recognised credit rating agency, will be sampled and used as a baseline for contract monitoring. This rating will be monitored for variance against the baseline at least every month. In the case of any negative variances against the baseline, this will be investigated by ESPO accordingly. The successful Supplier must agree and adhere to a number of Mandatory Requirements, Service Levels and Key Performance Indicators which are provided in the tender documentation.

About the buyer

ESPO is a purchasing organisation owned and governed by six county and city councils across the East of England: Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Warwickshire and Peterborough. A joint committee set up under the Local Government Act oversees its work. Suppliers register on the Central Digital Platform to tender for places on ESPO's frameworks. Registration on East Mids Tenders, the regional e-tendering portal, is also required to bid. Competitions span more than 100 frameworks, from buildings, energy and food and catering to technology and professional services. Appointed suppliers then serve ESPO's public sector customers across the region without a further re-tender.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of ESPO's contract awards have been in IT services, communications equipment and business services.
