UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

WME intends to create a new four year single supplier framework for the provision of electricity supplies, with WME acting as intermediary to buy the electricity on the wholesale market. WME provides a fully managed service including validation and payment of bills on behalf of customers. In addition, WME also provides a procurement only service.

This is an award notice for a framework agreement for the provision of a Decarbonisation Services Partner for the Education Sector. No award was made.

In 2022, WME launched our “Use Cleaner, Use Less” campaign, designed to support our customers to use less energy, and ensuring we are procuring the cleanest energy possible. To support the “Use Less” pillar of the campaign, we have enhanced energy reporting via our customer portal, however the technical advice, guidance, and ability to provide physical decarbonisation products is outside our expertise. Accordingly, we are looking for a partner with similar ethos to WME to provide a range of decarbonisation solutions to our customers, ranging from energy audits through to the delivery and project management of large-scale decarbonisation projects such as solar installation, and provision of relevant literature, and education support to our customers via webinars, social media, newsletters etc. We are also keen to develop the partnership to include support to WME in developing additional frameworks to enhance the partnership’s future delivery.

Our requirement can be broadly split into two sections: 1.To provide the technical expertise and a range of decarbonisation solutions to our education-based customers and the wider education sector. This will range from energy audits, through to the delivery and project management of large-scale decarbonisation projects such as solar installations. In addition, we would like support providing relevant literature and education support to our customers which could come via webinars, social media, newsletters etc. In addition to the initial support, we are keen to develop the partnership to include support to WME in developing additional frameworks to support the partnership's future delivery. 2.The establishment of a working partnership, whereby both WME and the winning tenderer will work closely to develop opportunities and promote services of each other across the education sector, for the mutual benefit of both parties and the wider education sector.

WME is looking to receive applications from suppliers to join a multi supplier Open Framework to carry out energy efficiency improvement works in but not limited to any public sector buildings including Schools, Council buildings and Town Councils. It is envisaged that most of the works will be conducted on school buildings. In May 2024 WME awarded Barker Associates a single supplier framework for Decarbonisation Solutions for the education sector. This framework will broaden WME's decarbonisation services to cut energy use, improve building efficiency, and reach net zero. In establishing this framework, Barker Associates have supported WME with technical advice and support, including, but not limited to; providing support with drawing up the tender document, technical specifications and will support in subsequent tender evaluations. Once the framework has been established it is envisaged that Barker Associates will utilise the framework to call off contracts to support their work as our decarbonisation partner. This work will include preparation of ITT documents, supporting with clarification questions, offering technical support and evaluation of the competitive selection process. If the Contracting Authority wishes to utilise their own technical advisors, then the framework will permit that. During the first 12 months of the award of this framework. WME will only offer the fully managed procurement service to Contracting Authorities utilising Barker Associates consultancy services. This exclusion is designed to ensure any teething problems have been ironed out prior to expanding this service to other consultants/contractors.
