Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Supply of Electricity" which aims to provide access to an electricity supply contract and associated services to sites within Northumberland, specifically in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This procurement, classified under electricity distribution and related services, was conducted through a selective procurement method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender had a contract period starting from 1st April 2026 and ending on 31st March 2031, with a total value of £40,500,000. The award was confirmed to EDF Energy Customers Limited, marking the contract as active since 26th February 2025.

The awarded contract to EDF Energy Customers Limited, a large-scale supplier, provides significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies involved in electricity distribution and meter reading services in the North East of the UK. However, the procurement was unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs as per the suitability criteria set forth by Northumberland County Council. This tender, based on the framework agreement NEPO301, presents opportunities for other large corporations looking to engage with prominent regional buyers such as Northumberland County Council and further expand their footprint in governmental contracts. Business users can explore similar frameworks and selective procurement offers to strategize their growth in this sector.
