Our Autumn tender asks flexibility providers for 413MW of flexibility in 29 locations across Cumbria, Lancashire and Greater Manchester with up to £7m revenue available for the provision of these services. This procurement round is taking place on the PicloFlex platform and potential providers are encouraged to visit the platform and complete company qualification by signing up to the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) and uploading assets prior to participating in this procurement round.

Full details of our Autumn requirements including postcodes, delivery windows, capacity required, response type (product) and ceiling prices can be viewed on our interactive flexibility map on the right, within Appendix 3 of our Invitation to Tender below, on our new Open Data Portal and on Piclo.

We are procuring three common products for this tender: Secure (pre-fault), Dynamic (post-fault) and Restore (post-fault). Energy Efficiency measures can also provide flexible services through each of the three products, by installing energy efficiency schemes that reduce long term energy demand. Find out more about each of our products in the helpful guides section of our document library. We also have an FAQs page which includes sections on our most frequently asked flexibility services questions including technical requirements and how to participate through the adoption of energy efficiency measures.
