The Reasons are following the procurement of gas
renewal via a fully compliant YPO framework, Corona Energy
submitted prices for both 12 and 24 months. The 24-month contract
provides best value and will result in a total cost of
£5,583,776. This amounts to a reduction in costs of
£4,174,978 (47%) for the term of the contract.
 
Options considered and rejected
was a 12-month contract which
would have limited the cost reductions to 44%.
 
The 24-month contract therefore
provides budget certainty and an overall cost reduction that will
help in easing budget pressures over the course of next 2
years.
 
Assessment of Risk: Low
 
The source of funding
is: Revenue budgets and
schools’ budgets
