Brighter Places - Gas and Electric

Brighter Places sought expressions of interest from suitably skilled and experienced Suppliers to deliver Gas and Electric servicing and remedial works across its stock in Bristol and the surrounding areas, consisting of approximately 3,600 properties. The contract was split into two lots, with contractors able to bid for both, but only win one lot. The Contract will be for a total of 15 years, with an initial period of 10 years, followed by a potential 5 year extension. The Contract sought to offer the benefits of best practice in contract delivery and collaborative working practices for Brighter Places. Brighter Places followed a restricted procedure, comprising of two stages: an SQ and an ITT. Following evaluation of ITT's, Brighter Places intended to award to a single contractor per lot. Full details of the requirements and instructions were included in the procurement and tender documents. Lot 2 of this process has not been awarded. The contract was not awarded as tenders received were not affordable for Brighter Places and its customers for the services included in the tender scope. Brighter Places is reviewing its options for the delivery of these services.
