The subject of the procurement procedure is to procure electricity for the year 2026 through the Hungarian Central Purchasing Body (KEF) portal, within the framework of an existing framework agreement, as part of a reopened competition (mini-competition). The evaluation criterion applied in this procedure is the lowest price. The primary reason for using the KEF’s centralized procurement system is the consistently favourable pricing achieved in previous years. The procedure ensures broad market participation, as all relevant suppliers listed under the framework agreement are required to submit bids during the reopened competition, thus guaranteeing wide-ranging competition and an effective outcome. This approach also ensures transparency, non-discrimination, and publicity, as all eligible suppliers receive the call for tenders and are obliged to participate. The centralized procurement system provides an optimal price-to-value ratio, as suppliers and buyers are simultaneously present on the platform, which encourages competitive pricing. For the Contracting Authority, it is critical to secure continuous and uninterrupted electricity supply by a reliable provider with proven capacity and commitment to high-quality service delivery. The current service will run until December 31, 2025, so in order to ensure uninterrupted service, the new contract must enter into force on January 1, 2026. In accordance with Article 7(1)(b) of the ELI ERIC Procurement Rules, the language of the procedure is Hungarian.
