Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited has awarded a contract for Utilities (Energy) Management Services and Empty Homes Utility Management Services under procurement reference PP1074. The contract is divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers comprehensive energy management services such as procurement, account management, bill validation, and decarbonisation support, while Lot 2 focuses on managing utility services for vacant properties. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract value is estimated at £70,000 annually. The contract period starts on 1st October 2024 and runs for 12 months, with options to extend for up to 48 months in total. The tender was open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with the final award announced on 12th September 2024 to EIC Partnership and Tenants Save Money.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in energy management, utility brokerage, and related services. SMEs specialising in energy procurement, billing services, and sustainable energy solutions are well-suited to compete for this type of contract, as it involves both routine utility management and innovative services like exploration of Power Purchase Agreements and selling excess solar generation. The involvement of a major housing group like Orbit Group Limited provides a stable and potentially long-term business opportunity to enhance portfolio diversity and showcase expertise in utility optimisation and sustainability practices within the UK's energy sector.
