Trondheim Municipality, hereafter called the contracting authority, invites tenderers to an open tender contest for a framework agreement for electricity, which includes the physical delivery of electricity to the municipality's units, optimisation of concessionary energy sales, and financial management of termin contracts.
Based on historical figures and the current installations, the total annual consumption of electrical energy for the contracting authority and collaboration partners is approx. 130 GWh split between approx. 2,500 measuring points. The contracting authority has concessionary energy for approx. 35.7 GWh/annum, which will be included in the management.
The delivery mainly comprises the following areas:
- Physical delivery of electrical energy
- Handling and optimising concessionary power
- Implementation of a price insurance strategy and handling financial contracts
- Overview and prognoses for price development in the spot and forward market for electricity, as well as important input factors for the production of, for example, water, wind, coal and gas.
- Invoicing services and site administration
- Consultancy services and installation of environmental and efficiency measures
- General consultancy services
- Reports
The contracting authority currently has a price insurance strategy, which states an interval for a given percentage share of the expected consumption, which is to be price insured with forward contracts. The amount of the consumption that is to be price insured is decided by an interval for the price insurance model within different time horizons. Within these intervals the contracting authority decides how much will be price insured based on the relationship between the average spot price in recent years and the price of forward contracts and judgemental assessments of the expected market development. The contracting authority would like to have the chosen tenderer as an opponent for all transactions, and they must not be a clearing customer at Nasdaq OMX.
The Contracting Authority can require consultancy services in the contract period that are in addition to the areas specified in this tender documentation. If the tenderer is to demand compensation for any general consultancy services that are not mentioned in the tender documentation, the frameworks for these consultancy services must be agreed in advance. It is the tenderer´s responsibility to ensure that such an agreement is signed. Tenderers are asked to specifiy hourly rates/the fee model in their tender.
The signed contract will be based on the contracting authority having an obligation to meet their need for energy through the contract for the locations stated when the contract was signed. It is highly probable that energy deliveries to additional locations will be phased in due to new developments and any rental of premises that does not include electricity. Subsequently, energy deliveries can also be phased out if, for example, locations are no longer used.
The procurements will cover all procurements within the product range covered by this contract and that are made by Trondheim Municipality with collaboration partners in the contract period. The contracting authority has based its specification of the services on the consumption from 2019-2021.
