Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited, headquartered in Halifax, United Kingdom, has initiated a procurement process titled "Utilities Framework" under an open procedure. The framework aims to secure the best value for energy and water procurement, covering half-hourly and non-half-hourly metered electricity, natural gas, and water supply. This public utilities contract is divided into four lots, with a total estimated value of £64 million. The tender is currently active, and interested parties must submit their bids by 17:00 on 14th November 2025. The procurement falls under the services category, and contracts awarded will commence on 1st April 2026, running until 31st March 2028, with potential extensions up to 31st March 2030.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in utilities supply and management, particularly those proficient in energy and water services. Given the open procurement method and framework agreement approach, companies with the capability to handle diverse and extensive utilities supply, especially in the public sector, are well-positioned to benefit from this engagement. The framework allows for participation from multiple suppliers, with a maximum of 20 participants, thus offering a broad scope for SMEs and larger enterprises alike to secure a significant market position and establish long-term partnerships through ongoing call-off arrangements outlined in the framework.
