Located in Long Stratton, United Kingdom, the buyer falls under sub-central government public authority classification, and the contact for procurement matters is reachable via email at procurement@saffronhousing.co.uk.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for energy suppliers, particularly those with experience in delivering electricity on a large scale, to engage in a stable and potentially lucrative contract. Businesses specialising in energy solutions and able to offer competitive pricing, robust billing systems, comprehensive account management and green energy options will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, suppliers must be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant supply licence, fulfilling both economic and technical criteria related to credit checks, billing options, and pricing strategies. The contractual framework prioritises price but also considers service quality components, fostering a competitive landscape that encourages innovation and efficiency among suppliers willing to meet Saffron Housing Trust’s comprehensive requirements.
