Published requirement description

The requirement is for the provision of fixed Electricity (REGO) and Fixed Natural Gas (Brown) in accordance with the specifications set out in the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The contract is due to commence on 1 October 2026 and may include the addition of further sites during the term. The initial contract period is 36 months, with the option to extend, up to a maximum duration of 4 years. The initial contract period and the decision to invoke the extension clause will be at the sole discretion of the Authority.

The procurement will be conducted in line with the Procurement Act 2023, ensuring a fair, transparent, and competitive process to identify the most advantageous tender for our client.

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 10 Jun 2030, 23:59 BST.
  • No preliminary market engagement: Premarket engagement is a recommended step to ensure informed and effective procurement activity. As an energy consultancy, our role involves continuous and direct engagement with the energy markets. This includes regular interaction with suppliers, monitoring of market trends, participation in industry forums, and ongoing analysis of commercial and regulatory developments. This sustained market presence provides us with up-to-date intelligence and supplier awareness, which informs our requirements and procurement approach. We consider this level of engagement to constitute sufficient and appropriate premarket engagement for the purposes of this tender, ensuring the process is compliant, market-aware, and proportionate.
