This contract, facilitated through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement, is valued at £1,306,548. It covers the period from 1st October 2025 to 31st March 2026, transitioning supply from SSE to EDF in preparation for their inclusion in the CCS NHSE basket from April 2026. This procurement falls under the "Electricity supplies" industry category and is located in the East of England, United Kingdom, with relevant key dates including the award date on 15th May 2025.

This tender represents significant opportunities for large-scale energy suppliers within the electricity industry, particularly those capable of executing high-value contracts and providing reliable supply stability during transitional phases like those described.
