What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used by Trading and Risk to manage the CCS energy portfolio for more than 1,200 customers across the Public Sector with a total spend of more than £1.5 billion per annum. The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used to record trade and demand forecasts, calculate open positions and valuations based on market prices, and serves as Trading and Risk's 'single source of truth' for portfolio reporting and information. CCS was seeking to replace its current ETRM by sourcing a replacement, cloud based system. This was an off-the-shelf ready to deploy software procurement, rather than a software development project. The ETRM would support CCS's ability to provide its customers with risk managed products for power and gas.

What this means for your bid

Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
“Energy Trading and Risk Management (ETRM) System” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
