NEPO302 Supply of Gas

NEPO seeks to procure a Framework Agreement for the Supply of Gas. The current NEPO302 Gas Framework will end 31st March 2026.

The Framework Agreement will include NEPO trading gas on a fully flexible basis from the wholesale market and the subsequent supply of gas to the NEPO portfolio. The Framework Agreement shall also include a Meter Asset Manager service and subsequent Automatic Meter Reading services.

The Framework Agreement will include provisions for assisting Contracting Authorities to reduce gas consumption and support their energy efficiency aims. The Framework Agreement currently consists of approximately 27 million therms, per annum, across 3,884 sites.

NEPO are using a two-stage Competitive Procedure with Negotiation for the procurement of this Framework. The first stage is a Selection Questionnaire which will be used to shortlist suppliers.

Shortlisted suppliers will then be invited to Tender. The Framework Agreement will be a single supplier and single lot solution.

NEPO may also wish to enter into negotiations with tenderers in line with the requirements of the Competition with Negotiation Procedure. NEPO also reserve the right not to enter into negotiations and award the Framework Agreement on the basis of initial tender.

The most economically advantageous tenderer will be awarded the Framework Agreement. NEPO does not give any guarantee and/or warrant the actual value of the services (if any) which will be placed with the successful supplier by any Contracting Authority using the Framework Agreement pursuant to this process and accepts no liability thereof.

In accordance with the Framework Agreement, each Contracting Authority will enter into a call-off contract. The call-off contract is to be entered into by both the Contracting Authority and successful supplier and will be based on the terms and conditions of the Framework Agreement.

The opportunity can be accessed via the NEPO eTender system (Open). Suppliers wishing to be considered for this Framework Agreement must register their expression of interest and submit the selection questionnaire and tender response through the Open eTendering System.

If not already registered, suppliers should register on the Open eTendering System at https://www.open-uk.org/ (https://www.open-uk.org/) Selection Questionnaire and Tender responses must be submitted using the link above.
