two.1.4) Short description
The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used by Trading and Risk to manage the CCS energy portfolio for more than 1,200 customers across the Public Sector with a total spend of more than £1.5 billion per annum. The Energy Trading and Risk Management system (ETRM) was used to record trade and demand forecasts, calculate open positions and valuations based on market prices, and serves as Trading and Risk's 'single source of truth' for portfolio reporting and information. CCS was seeking to replace its current ETRM by sourcing a replacement, cloud based system. This was an off-the-shelf ready to deploy software procurement, rather than a software development project. The ETRM would support CCS's ability to provide its customers with risk managed products for power and gas.

On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at:

Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services.
