Summary of the contracting process

Indigo Swan, a procurement consulting firm based in Norwich, England, has completed the tender process for the supply of mains gas to the Saffron Housing Trust. The contract, awarded to SEFE Energy Limited, will commence on 1st April 2025 and is set to run through 31st March 2026. This procurement falls within the goods category and pertains specifically to the supply of mains gas (CPV code: 09121200). The accelerated competitive procedure with negotiation was employed due to the volatile nature of energy prices, ensuring rapid decision-making. Notable deadlines included the end date for tender submission on 18th November 2024. The total contract value is £230,221 GBP, with an estimated volume of 4.4 GWH per annum, and future options up to 36 months available.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, primarily for larger energy suppliers registered with OFGEM and holding relevant supply licences. The requirement for credit checked approval, along with provisions for green gas options and group billing, aligns well with suppliers capable of managing comprehensive energy solutions. Businesses capable of providing both paper and online invoices and allowing for direct debit payments would be particularly well-suited. With the contracting activity concentrated in the East of England, it offers a channel for suppliers looking to expand their footprint in this region.
