One way to effectively realize energy savings is to outsource sustainability measures to a Energy Service Company (ESCo). The performance to be delivered is recorded in an EPC.

​

Commissioned by the Ministry of the Interior, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland) made (RVO.nl) a guideline to help contracting authorities with the procurement procedure of energy performance contracts. RVO.nl did this in collaboration with Boot Advocaten and ESCoNetwerk.nl.

Tendering guideline

​

The Tendering Guide describes step-by-step how to tender and draw up an energy performance contract. The step-by-step plan is intended for organizations that want to tender an EPC, as well as for contractors and consultants.

​

Bringing supply and demand together

Alexandra Boot, one of the authors of the Guidance: “The complexity prevents many organizations from working with ESCos and Energy Performance Contracts. We bring supply and demand together and help organize the (PPP) process. As a public party, if you want to tackle a complex process in an integrated way, you need a lot of information from all relevant disciplines in advance. Only then can market parties respond adequately. The Guideline is a kind of route planner for an effective integrated procurement process for complex projects.”
