UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is planning a procurement process for the supply of electricity to its non-residential properties and some schools, as outlined in a notice dated 9 September 2025. This planned procurement is at the 'planning update' stage, targeting the goods industry, specifically in the category of petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other energy sources. The procurement, valued at £22.2 million net (£26.4 million gross), is set to commence as early as 1 April 2027, with the possibility of extending the contract up to March 2035. This process follows the legal framework set out in the UK Public General Acts 2023 Chapter 54, and the first opportunity for tender notice is expected by 31 July 2026, should the current contract not be extended.

This procurement presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in electricity supply and energy management services within the utilities sector. Companies with the expertise and capacity to deliver such services could find this tender a perfect fit, especially those capable of operating within the specified region of UKI63, the United Kingdom. Small to medium-sized enterprises equipped with innovative energy solutions or cost-effective procurement strategies might also benefit significantly from participating in this contracting process. Engaging in this tender could enable further business growth through establishing a substantial municipal client base with the London Borough of Merton.
