Technical requirements: Notting Hill Genesis are looking to source for a single provider to procure, manage and provide consultancy services for our commercial and communal utilities supplies.
This would involve the management of approximately 5 500 electricity and 250 gas meters as well as a number of domestic and commercial water supplies that feed circa 60 000 properties throughout London and the South East.
Further information regarding the requirement is available in electronically available the tender documents.
Notting Hill Genesis (NHG) is one of the largest housing associations in London and the South East, providing homes for around 170 000 people in some 55 000 properties across the capital and a further 9 000 in the home counties and East Anglia. NHG was formed in April 2018 from Notting Hill Housing Trust and Genesis Housing Association Ltd.
NHG is looking to procure the services from a single supplier for the procurement of energy and water and provision of the associated contract management services.
The supplier shall provide the full range of services relating to the procurement of energy and water and the management of the associated contracts including, but not exclusively, the receipt and validation of bills, strategic energy advice, installation of ‘smart’ meters and Strategic Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).
• putting in place and managing contracts for the provision of energy and/or water on behalf of NHG that are procured through an EU compliant supply framework;
• the provision of energy and/or water contract management services including, but not exclusively, bill validation services for bills issued based upon remote meter reading systems.
The intention is that energy and water supplies will be monitored through the use of remote meter reading technology. Where meters are not read using remote meter reading technology the supplier shall provide a transitional service, the duration of which is not limited, to validate paper-based invoices where necessary. The services, manual and digital, will involve ensuring the charges, data, and other information associated with energy and water bills are accurate and appropriate.
The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
In accordance with regulations 86 to 102 (inclusive) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 the contracting authority will incorporate a standstill period at the point of information on the award of the contract is communicated to tenderers. That notification will provide full information on the award decision. The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.
