The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SWITCH2 ENERGY LIMITED on 25 September 2026. The award value is £217,943.35. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2027. The requirement was placed as a direct award call-off from the ProcurePublic Framework.

This award shows demand from Torus Group for a supplier able to provide billing and metering services for heat networks across the North West.
