To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services regarding proposals for the supply of electricity and gas.

The Panel considered a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services on energy supply contracts for the County Council (Item 10 in the Minute Book).

Members noted that the current framework, with Laser, for the supply of electricity and gas used by the Council and its partners, including schools, Fire, Police and a number of other Local Authorities since 2016 was due to expire in September 2020.

The new framework would allow the Property Services energy team to continue developing strategic relationships with the selected suppliers and to investigate innovative ways of reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption.

RESOLVED:

That Buildings, Land and Procurement Panel recommends to the Executive

Member for Policy and Resources:

that a contract is let with Laser (a public sector energy buying organisation) for the supply of electricity and gas using the new enhanced supply framework for the period 2020-2024. The annual spend is estimated to be in the order of £20 million for Hampshire County Council and its partners.
