BCCEC0617 - Provision of Finance Advisory Services in support of the Birmingham Energy Company Full Business Case

Tender description

Birmingham City Council (BCC) is seeking quotations from organisations for the provision of financial advisory services to support the development of the Full Business Case (FBC) for the establishment of a fully licensed Birmingham Energy Company. This follows the completion of an Outline Business Case (OBC) and options appraisal in 2016 that confirmed the most appropriate route for the Birmingham Energy Company to be a fully licensed supply. The FBC for the fully licensed Birmingham Energy Company is due to be presented to Cabinet in September 2017 to seek approval for the setup of the company by April 2018. The main purpose of the energy company will be to supply energy, (retail gas and electricity), and associated services to the local economy - encompassing public estate, domestic, commercial and industrial markets. The company will be run on a commercial basis and ultimately will be expected to provide an ongoing financial return to BCC.
