Companies operating in the gas wholesale market, as well as those providing energy services for public sector clients, would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The successful supplier will have the chance to engage with various public bodies across the UK, enhancing their market presence and establishing long-term partnerships through a potential separate framework agreement with ESPO Trading Ltd.
