Review and risk notes
Review procedure

BHC will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period at the point information on the award

of contract is communicated to all bidders. The standstill period provides time for unsuccessful bidders to

challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into. The Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as

amended) provide for aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of harm by a breach of the rules to

take action in the High Court (Northern Ireland).

Publisher note: This contract is being procured competitively in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016 (as amended). The procedure to be followed for this procurement is the negotiated procedure. Bidders who wish to participate in this procurement will be required to provide contact details before downloading the tender documents. Bidders who fail to provide their details to BHC or register in this manner will not receive any clarifications or updated information provided by BHC during the tender process. The costs of responding to this notice and participation in the process will be borne by each bidder. All discussions and correspondence will be deemed strictly subject to contract until a formal contract is entered into. The formal contract shall not be binding until it has been signed and dated by the duly authorised representatives of both parties. This tender process has been structured in 4 lots, as described above. Bidders are permitted to apply for one or more lots, and there is no limit on the number of lots which may be applied for. Bidders should note however that BHC will not award a contract for all of the lots. It is BHC's intention following conclusion of the tender process to award a single contract for either: (a) lot 1 - non-renewable supply (2 year contract); (b) lot 2 - 100% renewable supply (2 year contract); (c) lot 3 - non-renewable supply (3 year contract); or (d) lot 4 - 100% renewable supply (3 year contract). The Invitation to Negotiate documentation made available in draft form upon publication of this notice details the criteria and process to be adopted to determine which lot BHC will award a contract for. To clarify, if a bidder is willing and able to supply both non-renewable and/or 100 % renewable electricity for a duration of 2 and/or 3 years, it is envisaged that, to maximise the bidder's chances of success, the bidder would apply for all lots. Please note that BHC reserves the right to terminate the tender process for any lot at any time, not to award a contract for any lot(s) and furthermore, to award a contract for part of a lot, acting at its discretion.
