Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured a utility bill validation solution for the Defence Infrastructure Organisation. This is a software and information systems service intended to support the checking and validation of utility bills. The requirement is associated with the Ministry of Defence’s operations and can be delivered across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other locations worldwide. The buying organisation is based at Whittington Barracks in Lichfield, Staffordshire. The service falls within the broader category of information systems and software services rather than physical infrastructure works or the supply of utility commodities.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed above-threshold open procedure. Bids were due by 30 July 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 30 July 2026 to Energy Auditing Agency Limited. The awarded value is £163,213. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2027. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement and was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Energy Auditing Agency Limited.

This award demonstrates demand from the Ministry of Defence for specialist utility bill validation delivered as a software-enabled service. Businesses considering comparable future work for this buyer would need a solution capable of checking utility billing information accurately and supporting the Defence Infrastructure Organisation’s operational requirements. The requirement also points to the importance of serving a geographically dispersed estate spanning the UK and overseas locations. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant competitors should therefore be able to demonstrate established delivery capacity, utility auditing or validation expertise, and reliable information-systems support at a defence-wide scale.
