Summary of the contracting process

The Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is conducting a procurement process titled "Supply of Gas," classified under the natural gas industry. This tender, initiated on 27 May 2022, is currently in the Award stage following a limited procurement method, which was necessitated due to extreme market volatility. The council aims to procure gas for various contract and tariff sites within its jurisdiction, with the contract duration expected to last until 31 March 2023 or until new market conditions allow for a fresh tendering process. The contract signed on 1 April 2022 involves a total value of £750,000 (GBP) spread across two lots, one for contract sites and another for tariff sites.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in the natural gas supply industry, particularly those that can respond to the urgent demands of the local authority amidst the current instability in the market. Companies with experience in supplying gas—especially those familiar with short-term or variable pricing structures—will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Given the council's reliance on the contract for ongoing gas supply, this tender could serve as a gateway for suppliers looking to establish or strengthen their presence in the Northern Irish market.

Procurement Information

A further competition has been issued via an existing framework (procured via Open Procedure) for the supply of gas however due to the current political situation, none of the suppliers on the framework were willing to enter into a fixed price contract. Only two bids were received, neither of which were suitable, by the closing date of 28.02.2022. Due to the extreme and continuing market volatility, suppliers are unwilling to enter into contracts for the foreseeable future. Under the Energy Act (Northern Ireland) 2011, the incumbent suppliers will continue to supply gas to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council under a Deemed Contract. This arrangement will last until prevailing market conditions allow a new tendering exercise, or 31st March 2023, whichever is soonest.
