Summary of the contracting process

Cirrus Purchasing Ltd, acting as the buyer, initiated a contract for the Inspire Education Group to establish a Power Supply Contract under the title "Inspire Education Group Power Supply Contract". This procurement process pertains to the industry category encompassing petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy. Located in England, particularly Peterborough, this contract was executed through a selective procurement method via a framework agreement. The status of the procurement stage is "Award", with key dates including the award date of 1st September 2025, and the contract period lasting from 8th September 2025 to 30th September 2030. The contract's total value is £2,815,000 GBP.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in energy provision or supply chain management, aligning with energy-focused enterprises. Evolve Energy Supply Limited, a large-scale supplier, has already been awarded this contract, indicating the suitability for similar capacity firms to engage in such high-value tenders. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can also find opportunities given the procurement’s focus on a call-off framework agreement, potentially facilitating collaborative ventures or subcontracting opportunities. The procurement method suggests that businesses with experience in dealing with framework agreements and energy supply would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts.
