Gas Flex 2024 – 2028

Our Flex Gas framework has been developed through our clear understanding of your needs and challenges when it comes to procuring gas. It provides a Framework Agreement under which Gas for Daily Metered and Non Daily Metered supplies can be purchased flexibly. The framework has been procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations of 2015, as amended (PCR2015). Kent County Council remains the Contracting Authority for all LASER contracts. This permits a public body to access LASER’s frameworks and services without the need to run a separate procurement process to do so. The framework permits Direct Award to any supplier based on either coming first overall, being your incumbent provider or by winning a particular evaluation section which is of most importance to your organisation. There is also an option to run a mini-tender under the framework should you have specific requirements covered by the framework and we can help you with this. This User Guide is designed to guide you through the process of using our Framework agreement for the flexible procurement and supply of both Gas, Electricity with additional services. We have established our Framework through an open tender process and in accordance with Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the EU Combined Procurement Directive 2014/24/ EU, ensuring there is a compliant route to arranging the procurement and supply of both Gas and Electricity to your organisation. The Electricity tender issued by LASER provides a Framework Agreement under which Electricity for Half hourly, Non-Half Hourly Metered and Unmetered supplies could be purchased flexibly. The Gas tender issued by LASER provides a Framework Agreement under which Natural Gas, Daily Metered and Non-Daily Metered supplies could be purchased flexibly. In addition, there are opportunities to take advantage of a number of other services relating to energy usage, storage, savings and other innovative industry solutions to help manage your energy category and reduce costs. We will detail more information about these in this User Guide.
