Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited established a utilities supply framework covering its own energy requirements and those of other public bodies. The four service lots are half-hourly metered electricity, non-half-hourly metered electricity, natural gas, and water and wastewater. The requirement is for the supply of these utilities rather than infrastructure works or equipment. Electricity, gas and water suppliers are the relevant businesses; the electricity lots distinguish between supplies measured hourly and those that are not. The framework is intended to secure value in energy and water procurement. The recorded delivery coverage for half-hourly electricity spans England, while no more specific delivery place is identified for the other lots. The buyer is a housing association based in Halifax.

The procurement is complete: awards were made on 2 February 2026 and contracts were signed on 22 September 2026. The open procedure established a closed framework, with call-offs by mini-competition or direct award and provision for up to 20 framework participants. Brook Green Supply, EDF Energy Customers, Good Energy, SSE Energy Supply, UrbanChain, EDF Energy and SSE Services were appointed to both electricity lots; Brook Green, EDF Energy Customers, Regent Gas, SEFE Energy, SSE Energy Supply, EDF Energy and SSE Services to gas; and Anglian Water Business (National) and Anglian Water Services to water. Each lot was awarded at £16 million excluding VAT (£20 million including VAT). Each contract runs to 31 March 2028, with an extension option to 31 March 2030. Price was the stated award criterion. The framework carries a 4% fee on awards.

This award shows demand from a housing association for separate supplies of half-hourly and non-half-hourly electricity, natural gas, and water and wastewater, with provision to serve other public bodies through the framework. A credible future competitor would need to supply the relevant utility at the scale required across the buyer’s portfolio and be able to support public-sector procurement through a framework arrangement. The appointed supplier groups included both specialist and large utility businesses, and the water lot attracted a single bid, while each energy lot attracted five. Price was the stated basis of evaluation, so competitive pricing is central to the model. Framework call-offs can be made through further competition or direct award; suppliers should be able to support whichever route is used.
