Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the supply of natural gas, with an award issued on 30th May 2025 under the Manchester Gas Supply Framework. Categorised under the natural gas industry (CPV code 09123000), the contract involves a significant financial commitment of £5,533,321. The delivery of services is designated for the North West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with the contract set to commence on 1st July 2025 and conclude on 30th June 2028.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those dealing with natural gas supply, to expand their reach within the United Kingdom. Although Salford City Council has awarded the contract to SEFE ENERGY LIMITED, the scale and nature of such contracts highlight potential growth avenues for other large-scale energy suppliers. As the tender was not deemed suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with substantial operational capacities are best suited to compete in similar future procurement processes.
