17 091 Provision of a Fully Managed Service for Energy Supply (Gas and Electric)

The Council is seeking to make provision for its gas and electricity requirements from 1st April 2019 for a period of three years. The Council intends to procure a fully managed service whereby the Managed Service Provider (MSP) will purchase energy for and on behalf of the Council via a EU compliant framework, which amounts to approximately £6m per annum within its Corporate, Street lighting and Schools portfolio (including Academies).It will provide a flexible purchasing method of procuring energy and will provide an end to end billing and management service.

It will take the form of a single contract with the MSP negating the need to have a separate contract with the energy supplier.This procurement exercise will be conducted on Cheshire East Borough Council's electronic Contract and Tender Management System at the www.the-chest.org.uk Organisations wishing to be considered for this contract must register their expression of interest and provide additional required information through the Contract and Tender Management System.
