The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to alert potential suppliers to an opportunity in relation to a potential requirement to support the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (“DESNZ”) deliver its legal obligations in relation to historic concessionary fuel liabilities.
DESNZ wishes to commission a contract to manage the purchasing, distribution, and administration of solid fuel benefits to qualifying individuals under the National Concessionary Fuel Scheme (NCFS).
We are looking to contract a supplier for up to 6 years (likely to be split into an initial 3 year term with an option to extend for an additional 3 years subject to requirements) to manage all aspects of the solid fuel supply element of the NCFS to around 3400 concessionaires who receive their concessionary fuel entitlement through a delivery of solid fuel.
This number is declining in line with mortality rates.
We expect the contract to commence on 29th March 2025 when a predicted 2680 concessionaires will remain.
It is a demand led contract based on decreasing numbers with a number of variables and uncertainties.
We therefore require a flexible service which allows for a decrease of the business and unpredicted changes in requirements.
