Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has concluded the procurement process for the "CST258 Supply of Gas," primarily engaging the energy sector within the scope of services. The contract, which spans from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2032, is valued at £33,000,000. Engaging an open procedure method, this tender was initially announced to find suitable gas supply to the region of England, United Kingdom. Key stages in the procurement included an award stage on February 2, 2026, following the submission end date on January 12, 2026, making it crucial for potential suppliers to adhere to these timelines.

This tender presented excellent business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises within the energy supply sector, although it was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well. The open procurement process invited broader competition, enabling various vendors to participate and potentially secure a contract with a respected public authority like Derbyshire County Council. Ultimately, Corona Energy Retail 1 Limited was awarded the contract, highlighting the opportunity for recognised suppliers to expand their portfolio through significant public sector engagements. Businesses adept at delivering reliable energy solutions in compliance with this framework could have leveraged this opportunity to bolster their market presence.
