The framework agreement is for the supply of electricity encompassing Half-Hourly, Non Half-Hourly, Domestic, Pseudo Half-Hourly and Unmetered Supplies.
 The anticipated total consumption, based on the current Scottish Procurement framework agreement volumes, is 2.4 TWh per annum.
 Scottish Procurement will operate a flexible purchasing strategy for public sector and third sector bodies under the Framework Agreement, predominantly sourced via the traded electricity markets employing buys and sells on a forward and prompt basis via the Contractor’s trading desk, with forward purchasing anticipated at 30 months. The Contractor must be able to incorporate power volumes sourced independently into the volumes of energy that are required to supply any designated framework users. Framework users will take delivery of power on the basis of annual supply periods. Framework users may require certain ancillary services.
 Scottish Procurement is the organisation tasked with procuring commodities on behalf of all Scottish public bodies. Scottish Procurement is located within the Scottish Procurement and Property Directorate of the Scottish Government. The current framework agreement for the Supply of Electricity is due to expire on 31 March 2023 with an option to extend to 31 March 2024, depending on Scottish Procurement’s decision regarding the final extension. Work has commenced on developing the procurement strategy, including canvassing of stakeholders' views. As part of this, Scottish Procurement recognise the value of suppliers having the opportunity to contribute their views, in accordance with Regulation 41 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
 The Framework Agreement will be available for use by the Scottish Ministers (including Agencies), Scottish Non-Departmental Public Bodies, offices in the Scottish Administration which are not ministerial offices, cross- border public authorities within the meaning of section 88(5) of the Scotland Act 1998, the Scotland Office, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, councils constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, the Scottish Police Authority, Scottish health boards or special health boards, all NHS Scotland, The Integrated Joint Boards established further to the Public Bodies (Joint Working) Act 2014, bodies registered as social landlords under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001, Student Loans Company Limited, the Forestry Commission, the Commissioner of Northern Lighthouse operating as the Northern Lighthouse Board, Equality and Human Rights Commission, Business Stream Ltd, the Business Gateway National Unit at the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities, further or higher education institutions being fundable bodies within the meaning of section 6 of the further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005, any public body established by or under the Scotland Act 1998 or any Act of the Scottish Parliament, any association of or formed by one or more of the foregoing, bodies financed wholly or mainly by one or more of the foregoing, bodies subject to management supervision by one or more of the foregoing and bodies more than half of the board of directors or members of which, or, in the case of a group of individuals, more than half of those individuals, being appointed by one or more of the foregoing. In addition to the contracting authorities listed, the framework agreement will be available to charities entered on the Scottish Charity Register and voluntary organisations entered on the Membership Database of the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations.

title: Supply of Electricity Framework Agreement

description:
Supply of Electricity to the Scottish public sector and Scottish third sector organisations.
 The supplier will provide metering and billing services, and will provide trading services to facilitate supply of electricity from the wholesale markets. The period of the Framework Agreement shall be from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026 with options to extend for up to 3 years to 31 March 2029 in single year extensions.
 Within these time periods, the Contractor will be expected to provide flexible purchasing trading services only for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024, with the existing provider continuing to supply electricity under the existing framework during this period.
 For the avoidance of doubt the Contractor will not supply electricity to public bodies and third sector bodies under the Framework Agreement during the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The supply of electricity will commence on 1 April 2024.
 For the remaining duration of the framework agreement the Contractor will provide flexible purchasing trading services and supply of electricity to public sector and third sector bodies.
 Between 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2026, it is anticipated that supply may include significant volumes of electricity purchased from the existing framework provider under the existing framework and sleeved by the Contractor under the terms of the Framework Agreement (see procurement documents).

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge , solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage which runs from the 15th of August to the 2nd of September 2022, where they are then developed further [and for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world. The Accelerator Stage will run from the 3rd of October 2022 to the 28th of January 2023.

title: How can technology help us detect beaver burrows in the wild and assess their associated risks to public and private interests?

description:
Beavers are a protected species. However their burrowing sometimes causes us problems. Burrows have been associated with breaching of flood banking and water impoundments, undermining of infrastructure and collapse of sections of riverbank, impacting on businesses and livelihoods. Entrances to beaver burrows are usually dug below water, which can make detection difficult. A non-invasive method needs to be developed in order to both reliably detect potentially problematic burrows and assess the risk the burrow presents to infrastructure and people . A successful method will help anticipate the risk of problems arising from burrows, allowing targeted mitigation to help us live alongside beavers.

title: CivTech - Challenge 7.6 - How do we use Artificial Intelligence, data and digital technologies to enable more inclusive access to public services?

description:
The Scottish Government is focused on tackling inequalities including embedding inclusive communication within Government and across the public sector. This Challenge will work with public bodies and people with lived experience of barriers to accessing public services, such telephone based-services. For instance, people who have lost their voice, have difficulty speaking, are deaf but do not use British Sign Language, have a learning disability, lack dexterity to select number buttons, or live with lifelong or acquired conditions, such as cerebral palsy or motor neurone disease. Inclusive communication will increase the proportion of people in Scotland reporting that their communications needs are being met when accessing public services.

title: CivTech 7 - Challenge 7.2 - How can we use data about businesses to transform the design, delivery and evaluation of business support services across Scotland’s public sector?

description:
The recent experience of providing support to businesses during the pandemic has reinforced the importance of data quality and data linkage to the effective delivery of public services for business.
 Data about individual businesses is held for a wide range of purposes across different organisations in the Scottish public sector. This data is often partial and fragmented and presents constraints to designing and delivering services to support businesses.
 Solving this data challenge will enable better targeting and management of public sector support, aligning the services provided by various parts of the public sector from the perspective of the recipients.
