Retail Energy

Procurement Australia is conducting a request for tender event (2506/0641 – Retail Energy) to establish new energy supply arrangements. This replaces the current fixed price fixed term energy contracts (2206/0638 – Retail Energy and 2206/0640 – Retail Energy) in place that are scheduled to expire on 30 June 2022 or 30 June 2023 depending on individual member’s previous contract duration selected.

This new tender & resultant contract will provide fixed price energy solutions for up to a maximum term of June 30 2025 in the following energy categories:

• Electricity – Large & Small Market
• Natural Gas – Large & Small Market
• Public Lighting
• Contestable Large Generation Certificates (LGC’s)
• Solar Feed In Tariffs

As an enhancement to this tender, and to assist Member organisations to achieve their broader renewable energy and sustainability objectives, our intention also via this tender is:

• To seek from the market both mandatory and voluntary level Large Generation Certificates (LGCs) that are provided by one cited renewable generating asset in each state.
• Retailer flexibility that allows members an LGC contracting arrangement whereby individual members can elect post tender to purchase voluntary level LGCs to a level determined by each member’s renewable energy requirements should any member wish to purchase voluntary level LGCs.

This tender will be managed via our robust accredited procurement process that meets the requirements of Local Government and the broader public sector and is both ISO 9001-2015 and CIPS certified.

Procurement Australia is proud to be one of the largest aggregators of energy in Australia with over 200 organisations nationally represented with over 11,000 sites on our energy contracts. We invite our members to benefit from the aggregated buying power available to you.

Members not currently using the current Procurement Australia energy contract and who have a commencement date requirement from October 2021 can be accommodated in this tender and are encouraged to participate.
