Summary of the contracting process

Procurement for Housing (PfH) is establishing a dynamic purchasing system for the supply of electricity and natural gas, with associated services, to public sector organisations across the UK. The four requirements cover fixed and flexible gas supply, and fixed and flexible electricity supply. Flexible contracts include managing trading activity and positions, using an appropriate product approach such as volume tolerance, cash-out or tranche products. The arrangement is intended for use by PfH members and other eligible public bodies, including social housing providers, local authorities, education establishments, NHS organisations, emergency services and charities. It therefore suits energy suppliers seeking to supply a range of public sector buyers, rather than a single named delivery site. The procurement is for energy supply and related services (CPV 09000000).

PfH invited applications through a restricted procedure to establish an open dynamic purchasing system. The process reached tender, with offers submitted electronically or in writing. The submission deadline set was 22 February 2029 at 16:00 UTC. The stated estimated value is £500 million. There are four lots: flexible gas, fixed gas, flexible electricity and fixed electricity; suppliers may apply for the relevant requirements. Each lot has a contract period of 1,410 days, with no renewal or additional purchase option indicated. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Variants are not allowed, and submissions must be in English. The stated selection requirement is an appropriate current Ofgem supply licence and registration on the Ofgem Public Register. Performance terms are governed by the tender documentation.

This opportunity is suited to energy suppliers with the necessary Ofgem licensing and the operational capability to serve public sector customers. Applicants need to appear on Ofgem’s Public Register and hold a current supply licence covering each lot for which they apply. Suppliers bidding for flexible gas or electricity should be able to offer a suitable product methodology, for example volume tolerance, cash-out or tranche products, and manage the placing of trading activity and positions. Both fixed and flexible suppliers need to provide accurate billing and have experienced teams able to manage contracts smoothly. The four separate supply options allow businesses to focus on the energy type and contract model they can deliver. Successful participation depends on demonstrating the relevant licensing, service capability and experienced operational support.
