Beond believe it is all about choice. We do not believe in the one size fits all approach. As such, Beond can provide Public Sector energy buyers with two options;
The DPS streamlines procurement for both Approved Energy Suppliers and the Contracting Authority. Approved Energy Suppliers only have to demonstrate their suitability and capability once, as part of the approval process to be on the DPS. Thereafter they only need to participate via a mini competition on our reverse auction platform to compete for a public sector contract. The DPS offers more flexibility, particularly as new Energy Suppliers may join at any time during its period of validity, meaning that suppliers are not locked out for the duration as they are with traditional frameworks.
Gwynedd Council are the Framework Operator and Beond Group are the sole appointed framework procurement agents. The Framework Agreement including all call-off contracts and brokering services are managed by Beond Group.
