Summary of the contracting process

The Redhill Academy Trust has initiated a public procurement process titled "Redhill Academy Trust Dynamic Market for Electricity and Gas," aimed at establishing a dynamic market for electricity and gas supply services. Based in Nottingham, UK, the Trust is a public authority within the central government and is looking to engage suppliers in a process that remains open and competitive. As of 19th December 2025, the tendering stage is active, and the framework for this initiative is set to operate until 31st January 2028. The procurement method is classified under 'goods' and uses an open and dynamic market system, which allows new suppliers to join at any time. This project covers the supply of mains gas, natural gas, and electricity across the UK, providing opportunities for various public bodies and potential suppliers to engage in fair trading practices.

This dynamic market presents considerable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in energy supply and registered with OFGEM. It is well-suited to SMEs looking to expand their client base within the public sector, as the procurement process encourages participation by smaller entities. By registering on the Redhill Academy Trust’s e-tendering portal, eligible suppliers can gain access to tender documents and participate in future procurements. The framework also opens avenues for business with a broad range of contracting bodies, including academy trusts, universities, schools, local authorities, and even healthcare organisations, amplifying the potential for substantial business growth in the energy sector. This procurement method not only supports continuous market engagement but also ensures that all supplier interactions are conducted through a transparent and regulated platform.
