Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "192_27 Supply of Mains Gas" was conducted by ESPO, a regional or local authority based in Leicester, UK. The procurement focused on goods within the mains gas industry and covered multiple administrative regions across the UK. The process followed an open procedure, ensuring transparency and allowing various public sector organisations to participate. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 18th December 2025. Originally initiated as a tender, the process progressed to an award stage by 28th January 2026, with TOTALENERGIES GAS & POWER LIMITED being the successful supplier. This single-supplier framework agreement was valued at £400,000,000 and aimed to facilitate the supply of mains gas and associated services through ESPO as an intermediary.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large-scale energy supply companies equipped with an OFGEM Gas Supply Licence, as mandated by the procurement's eligibility criteria. The framework agreement allows businesses to engage with an extensive portfolio of public sector clients, including local authorities, educational establishments, and emergency services, providing a consistent demand for services. Suppliers who can ensure quality and competitive pricing, given the balance of award criteria, stand to benefit from sustainable and scalable service deliverance across a broad UK market. This framework, by design, is tailored for firms looking to expand their operations within the public sector in the UK, utilising the strategic platform ESPO provides as a central purchasing body.
