Decision details

The report will seek Cabinet approval to direct award the contract to EDF energy. Due to the age and makeup of the Cyclo meters and the control panels in some residential properties, EDF energy is the only existing supplier as market competition is absent.

Cabinet resolved to:

(i)  Agree that the Council proceeds with the procurement of a direct contract with EDF for the supply of electricity through Cyclo meters to relevant LBBD residential properties, via the North East Purchasing Organisation (NEPO) framework, in accordance with the strategy set out in the report; and

(ii)  Delegate authority to the Chief Operating Officer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Social Housing, the Director of Law and Governance and Director of My Place, to enter into the contract(s) and all other necessary or ancillary agreements with the appointed supplier.
