What is being bought

Northern Powergrid aims to develop a market for local flexibility, giving its customers the opportunity to take an active part in the energy system by using their energy resources to support the network, and be compensated for it. Northern Powergrid hopes to make use of DER's that can import or export energy, and of its customers' ability to reduce the amount of energy they are taking from the network. To help manage the network the Company wishes to contract with customers to turn up or turn down their electricity demand, generation and storage upon instruction from the Company. As part of our commitment to roll out our customer flexibility strategy, our next step is to invite you to participate in Northern Powergrid's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for distribution flexibility services.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Electricity (09310000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 091,8284 median · 34.4 average (667 of 1,828 with a bid count)5 average (759 of 1,828 with named award suppliers)Not published

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)12532.5 median · 32.5 average (2 of 125 with a bid count)14 average (2 of 125 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
