What is being bought
We require a flexible risk managed natural gas contract for 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further two years, for the initial period 1.10.2023 to 30.9.2025. Operating as an aggregated portfolio of natural gas consumption for daily metered (DM), metered and non-daily metered meters (NDM) forming part of a combined portfolio. We will operate a rolling two year purchasing strategy for multiple customers, where gas will be purchased and sold on the traded wholesale energy market via OFGEM licenced suppliers. The portfolio may be split into purchasing in advance of year and purchasing within year. Natural gas is to be priced to the customers on a fixed cost basis for a fixed term period which will have been purchased in advance of delivery and may be greater than 1 year and as short as 1 month. The supplier will execute trades via a shared set strategy and customers will be aligned to a common contract start date.
