What is being bought

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) Energy Team purchases Gas and Electricity on the UK wholesale markets on behalf of public sector organisations. Our energy portfolio consists of approximately 1,200 customers, managing c.108,000 meters (power and gas) across c.80,000 sites, and continues to grow. We are conducting this Request for Information (RFI) to identify a Cloud-based Energy Portfolio Management System (EPMS). The primary objective is to establish a "Single Source of Truth" that enables efficient internal portfolio management, integration with third-party energy suppliers, and a self-service environment for customers to audit their portfolios.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 48. The category anchor is Software package and information systems (48000000); 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.

“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.
