Summary of the contracting process

ONWARD GROUP LIMITED is planning a public procurement process for the supply of gas and electricity, which encompasses both metered and unmetered, half-hourly and non-half-hourly electricity, as well as gas supplies to its sites. The buying organisation is classified as a sub-central government public authority, based in Manchester, United Kingdom. The industry category for this procurement is energy, specifically covering petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other energy sources. The process is currently at the planning stage, with an anticipated contract period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2026. The procurement method is selective, indicating an award under a framework, and the total contract value is estimated at £6,000,000 gross.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the energy sector, particularly those specialising in comprehensive energy supply chains capable of delivering both gas and electricity. Companies adept at providing competitive and reliable energy solutions could benefit from this procurement. Due to the selective nature of the procurement and the use of an established framework, businesses with existing framework agreements or experience working with public sector organisations may be particularly well-suited to compete. It also opens avenues for companies to establish or expand their footprint within the UK regions specified, stimulating both growth and regional presence.
