Lot details

Natural Gas Supply and Metering

The scope of this lot is to award a framework agreement for the supply of natural gas to TW sites as well as monitoring and maintainance of our gas meter fleet. TW's gas consumption is fairly consistent at around 100GWh per annum which is mainly used in the waste water treatment process as well as heating and hot water. TW currently have 66 AMR meters (one daily metered site). We are looking for a proactive supplier to collaborate with to improve gas usage efficiency without penalty as well as optimise prices, whether through hedging or other means. It is important that the uptime of our meters is maximised so response times and technical support are key here as well as proactive intervention when appropriate. Reporting is important to us, preferably real time. As you will be working on our sites, there are detailed health and safety processes and accreditations that we will require you to either already have or be willing to acquire.

Export of biomethane

The scope of this lot is to award a framework agreement for the export and sale of biomethane gas generated through our biogas upgrade plants on key waste treatment sites. We are currently producing around 43MWh of biomethane per year but this is expected to increase up to 709 MWh by 2030 due to a planned programme of biogas upgrade plant installations. We are interested in working with suppliers who will be able to optimise revenue, help us make informed decisions on green gas certificates and assist us in achieve our Net Zero Strategy. As this is an emerging market, we welcome continuous improvement and innovation throughout the agreement period. Access to a detailed reporting system is essential for this lot.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 09. The category anchor is Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy (09000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
