Summary of the contracting process

The recent award of the procurement process for mains gas supplies has been completed, with the Calico Group Ltd as the buying organisation and ESPO as the supplier. This process falls under the industry category of mains gas (CPV 09121200) and involves a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £1,035,254.60, will be active from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, serving the North West region of the United Kingdom. The award was announced on 11 June 2026, following the tender period that ended on 22 May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply chain of mains gas supplies. While this specific award is not suited for SMEs or VCSEs due to its scale and method, larger enterprises can benefit from aligning with such framework agreements to secure steady business over extended contract periods. Companies specialising in wholesale energy markets would find themselves well-positioned to compete in similar opportunities, potentially partnering with intermediaries like ESPO for facilitating broader market access and procurement efficiency.
