Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the provision of gas supply to sites within Northumberland has reached the award stage. Northumberland County Council, acting as the buying organisation, has recently awarded the contract to CORONA ENERGY RETAIL 1 LIMITED for a total value of £18,000,000. This procurement falls under the "Mains gas" industry category, positioned in the North East region of the United Kingdom. The process commenced with tender initiation, concluding on 25th February 2026, and the award was active from 26th February 2026. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 1st April 2026 and will end on 31st March 2032, following a call-off from NEPO302 Gas Framework through a selective procurement method.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities for entities capable of delivering gas supply services in the specified region. Large-scale suppliers with the adequate infrastructure to meet high demand within the North East area will find this procurement particularly beneficial. The procurement method involving a call-off from a framework agreement signals favourable conditions for businesses already engaged in established procurement frameworks. Despite the non-suitability for small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises, large enterprises like CORONA ENERGY RETAIL 1 LIMITED can significantly expand their market presence and reinforce their service delivery capabilities over the contract's duration of six years.
