Energy Supply — Public Tenders

The energy supply of public institutions is a core area of public procurement. The federal government, the federal states and municipalities regularly award contracts for electricity and gas supplies, the operation of energy facilities and the planning of energy concepts. The liberalisation of energy markets and the energy transition have fundamentally changed procurement practice.

Typical tenders in energy supply

  • Electricity supply contracts for municipal properties and street lighting
  • Natural-gas and biogas supply contracts for public buildings
  • Operations management of municipal energy supply facilities
  • Energy consultancy and preparation of municipal heat plans
  • Construction and operation of combined heat and power plants (CHP)
  • Concession contracts for grid-bound energy supply

Relevant CPV codes

Challenges in finding tenders

Energy-supply contracts are tendered under a wide range of CPV codes and procurement models — from classic supply contracts and concessions to contracting models. The boundary between energy supply, energy services and energy generation is fluid in procurement practice.

Particularly complex are concession procedures for electricity and gas grids, which are subject to their own procurement rules (EnWG — German Energy Industry Act) and are published on dedicated notice platforms.
