Summary of the contracting process

Aspire Housing, a body governed by public law, has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the procurement of electricity, gas, and water supply. Kinect Energy UK Ltd (trading as World Kinect Energy Services) has been appointed as their agent to manage this system. This DPS covers petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other energy sources within the UK's housing and community amenities sector. The procurement method employed is selective, utilising a restricted procedure. This system was initially active with an estimated value of £140 million GBP, including multiple lots for electricity, gas, and water supplies. Despite its initial establishment, the DPS was ultimately terminated as of December 2024, following an earlier active phase beginning in April 2022.

This tender offered significant opportunities for growth in the energy supply sector, particularly for businesses licensed by OFGEM for electricity and gas supply, and by OFWAT for water supply. Ideal candidates included suppliers able to offer either fixed price or flexible purchasing options, as well as those capable of accommodating specific requirements related to low carbon energy, payment terms, and billing arrangements. Although the procurement process has now been cancelled, the opportunities presented through this DPS would have suited companies looking to expand their reach and service provision in the UK's public housing and community amenities sector.
