Customer Flexibility Services

Description

Northern Powergrid aims to develop a market for local flexibility, giving its customers the opportunity to take an active part in the energy system by using their energy resources to support the network, and be compensated for it. Northern Powergrid hopes to make use of DER's that can import or export energy, and of its customers' ability to reduce the amount of energy they are taking from the network. To help manage the network the Company wishes to contract with customers to turn up or turn down their electricity demand, generation and storage upon instruction from the Company.
As part of our commitment to roll out our customer flexibility strategy, our next step is to invite you to participate in Northern Powergrid's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Customer Flexibility Services.

The DPS will be split down by post code, however we reserve the right to add more locations throughout the life of the DPS.
Details of the locations of proposed locations requiring Customer Flexibility Service can be found on the Flexibility Website:

The total spend is unknown at this stage.

Complete Tender Coverage

Following Brexit, the new official Find a Tender system has been developed by UK Government to detail all public procurement contract opportunities expected to be over £122, 976 for Central Government or £189,330 for the remainder of the public sector e.g. NHS contracts, Local Authority contracts, Housing Association contracts. Publishing requirements for all of the public sector are in place to ensure transparency, fairness and open competition.

All UK public sector opportunities under these values, but over £10,000 for central government or over £25,000 for other public sector organisations, are still required to be published on Contracts Finder. Scotland, Wales and NI also have their own dedicated sites: Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales, eSourcing NI and eTendersNI.

Complete Tenders have centralised and consolidated all of this information into a single, easy to use platform that is updated hourly with all new opportunities.
