Summary of the contracting process

South Cambridgeshire District Council has concluded a procurement process for the supply of electricity to small sites, particularly sheltered facilities. This process was conducted using an open competition method below the threshold, resulting in the completion and award of the contract to British Gas Trading Limited. The contract, valued at approximately £135,877.61 gross, covers the period from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2027. The procurement falls under the goods category and operates under the legal framework established by the UKPGA 2023/54. The Council is based in Cambourne, UKH12, United Kingdom, and aimed to secure electricity classified under CPV code 09310000. The tender was first active with an enquiry period ending on 23rd June 2025, followed by award notification on 25th June 2025.

This tender presents a notable growth opportunity for businesses specialising in utilities, particularly those with an interest in supplying renewable energy. Given the tender's criteria for 100% renewable electricity and specific payment terms, businesses that focus on sustainable energy solutions and have competitive pricing models are well-suited to compete for similar contracts. While this specific contract has been awarded to a large supplier, SMEs with expertise in renewable solutions should remain vigilant for future opportunities within the public sector, where increasingly stringent sustainability requirements are becoming the norm. Engaging in such tenders allows businesses to expand their portfolio and strengthen their market presence in the public utilities sector.
