Energy Contracting — Public Tenders
Energy contracting is a proven model in which an external service provider takes over the energy supply for public properties — including planning, financing, construction and operation of the plant technology. Municipalities, rural districts and federal authorities increasingly use contracting to reduce energy costs and meet climate targets without having to invest themselves.
Typical tenders in energy contracting
- Energy performance contracting (EPC) for a municipal building portfolio
- Energy-supply contracting for heating and hot water in public buildings
- Operations management contract for a municipal combined heat and power plant
- Contracting for street lighting with LED retrofit
- Heat supply based on renewable energy (heat pump, biomass)
- Technical building management with energy guarantee
Relevant CPV codes
- 09300000 — Electricity, heating, solar and nuclear energy
- 09320000 — Steam, hot water and associated products
- 45251200 — Construction work for heat-and-power plant
- 42160000 — Boiler installations
- 71600000 — Technical testing, analysis and consultancy services
Challenges in finding tenders
Contracting tenders are legally complex — they can be classified as a supply, service or works contract depending on the focus of the agreement. CPV codification is correspondingly inconsistent, ranging from energy supply through building technology to facility management.
In addition, the contract models (energy performance contracting, energy supply contracting, operations management) are demanding in both legal and technical terms, which is reflected in long procurement procedures with negotiation rounds.
