Non-Domestic Energy Efficiency Framework for Bristol City Council Energy Service

Formal Notice of Cancellation and Subsequent Re-advertisement of the Following Procurement: Bristol City Council (BCC) is seeking to establish a framework for the survey, advise, supply and install all of the following non-domestic energy efficiency services: - LED Lighting and Controls, - Insulation (Cavity, Loft and Pipework), - BMS (Building Management System)/BEMS (Building Energy Management System), - Energy and Building Services Efficiency Improvements. Additional information: BCC has made the decision to cancel this current procurement process.

Having reviewed tender responses BCC considers this the best course of action for the following reasons: • A lower quantity and quality of response from the market than envisaged • A greater number of clarification questions than envisaged It is BCC's intention to improve on the process; accordingly BCC will review the procurement documents and hold a supplier engagement session. BCC will also review the procurement procedure previously used and consider adopting the restricted procedure to "pre-qualify" suppliers based on their financial standing and technical or professional capability so as to narrow the number permitted to submit bids.

BCC remain committed to the establishment of a non-domestic energy efficiency framework. It is its intention to re-advertise the opportunity shortly and BCC encourage all interested suppliers to respond.
