Procurement

Stuart Senior, Chief Executive Officer

"By conducting transparent procurements that clearly set out our requirements, standards and expectations, we aim to procure quality services at the right cost, and to be Customer of Choice to the Agents who support the implementation of the BSC. Being Customer of Choice means that we make it easy for our suppliers to give of their best."

Stuart Senior, ELEXON Chief Executive

ELEXON seeks to procure the most cost effective services on behalf of BSC signatories as described in PDF Icon Section E of the BSC (52Kb) .

We take great care in choosing our suppliers and expect them to strive for a high standard of performance and be guided by a similar set of values to our own. We also aim to build effective two-way relationships with our suppliers.

The Commercial Management & Procurement Team provides Commercial and Contractual support and guidance for Agent and non-Agent contracts and facilitates the delivery of procurements in-line with our Strategic Sourcing Procedures.

We work with our suppliers to ensure that we obtain the maximum benefit from the areas of their greatest expertise. "Best in class" industry suppliers operating in the relevant sectors are monitored and assessed for suitability as future service providers to ELEXON.

ELEXON adheres to the basic tenets of EU public procurement principles:

  • Demonstrating fairness and transparency by following the relevant tenets and (where appropriate) structure of public procurement requirements;
  • Undertaking all procurements in accordance with the guiding principles of the promotion of competition, non-discrimination and fair and equal treatment, including through best practice, pre-determined tender procedures, the use of standard documentation and consistent pre-determined evaluation criteria based on the concept of the most economically advantageous tender.

We adhere to best practice in our procurement processes and our procurement staff are Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) qualified, or are training to be. If you have queries or comments on procurement, please email procurement@elexon.co.uk.
