Meeting documents

The current gas and electricity supply contracts used by Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) are due to expire on 30 September 2020 and require renewing. BCC currently purchases its gas and electricity through the LASER ‘flexible procurement’ framework which allows forward purchasing of energy when wholesale market prices are low. It is recommended that BCC renews the gas and electricity supply contract through the current LASER framework. However, a departure from the normal 4 year contract period is recommended to be replaced with a 2 year contract, with two further 1 year extension periods allowed (to a maximum of 4 years). This is to ensure the future Buckinghamshire Council is able to change contracting approaches mid-contract if necessary.
