Crown Commercial Service (CCS) as the Authority intends to put in place an Agreement for the provision of Smart Energy Cities Products and Services to be utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education and Devolved Administrations. The proposed scope of the agreement will provide provisions for both products and services required to deliver a “Smart Energy City” including smart sensors and monitoring equipment, electric vehicle charging points, data analytics and flexible energy usage services. The full scope and lotting structure of this agreement will be determined as a result of our market engagement. If you would like to participate, please contact the team on smart-energy-cities@crowncommercial.gov.uk. A Smart Energy City is a climate-friendly one, which optimises urban energy systems, thereby improving the quality of life for its citizens. The Smart Energy City is highly energy efficient, and is increasingly powered by renewable energy sources. This is driven by intelligent sources of data utilising the most up to date technologies and innovation. The aim of the agreement is to provide users with accurate data and feedback on their energy usage, emissions and pollution to help drive improvement. This will include the growing area of Electric Vehicle Charging Points with the potential for utilising Vehicle to Grid technologies in line with growing trends for decentralised energy sources. In order to provide a contracting vehicle to the public sector, we are proposing to deliver an agreement covering products and services related to: — smart metering, sensors and monitoring equipment, — energy resource management, — smart street lighting, — demand side response and flexibility services, — energy data management and analytics, — electric vehicle charging points including Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technologies. Please note the scope of the agreement is subject to change following feedback from suppliers, industry experts and public sector bodies as part of our schedule of engagement.
