Inclusion Group CIC is seeking to appoint a supplier to deliver brokerage services for gas and electricity supply contracts across its expanding property portfolio. Currently, Inclusion Group CIC manages 507 electricity meters and 301 gas meters, with expectations for growth as new properties are added. The contract will cover strategic advice, service delivery, compliance, and value-added support, including but not limited to: • Brokerage fee structure: £/meter/year over 2, 3, and 5 years • One overarching contract for gas and power, with separate reporting/invoicing • Consolidated invoicing and domestic VAT validation • Invoice validation, monthly reporting, SECR compliance • Smart meter installation coordination • Dedicated account management and contact • SLA for onboarding new supplies within 30 days • Market insight and recommendations based on early tender analysis • Outcome-based specification and proportionate dispute resolution • Legal compliance and promotion of equality and diversity • Attendance at bi-monthly meetings and proactive switching within SLA Estimated Contract Value: The current estimated value based on annual budget for the current financial year is an excess of £4 million, encompassing both supply costs and brokerage services.

Suppliers are required to submit proposals for 2-year, 3-year, and 5-year contract durations.
