Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Saffron Housing Trust seeking the supply of mains electricity across 168 non-half-hourly (NHH) meters starting in April 2026. This tender, categorised under the electricity industry, has been awarded and completed, with EDF Energy Customers Limited as the supplier. The procurement followed a competitive flexible procedure, addressing the need for effective electricity supply management. Located in Long Stratton, UKH17 region of the United Kingdom, Saffron Housing Trust is a sub-central government public authority buyer. Key dates from the procurement process include the contract award on December 12, 2025, with the contract period lasting from April 1, 2026, until March 31, 2027. The tender was initially opened with an expression of interest deadline set for November 24, 2025.

This contracting opportunity offers significant business growth potential, particularly attracting large-scale energy suppliers capable of handling competitive pricing and management requirements. Businesses adept in utilities and energy sectors, especially those registered with Ofgem and holding necessary supply licences, are well-suited for such tenders. The tender gives preference primarily to price criteria, but also considers aspects like billing requirements and customer service. Suppliers providing consolidated billing and flexible pricing options, coupled with strong technical proposals, are most likely to thrive. The total contract estimated volume is 0.7 GWh annually, representing ample scope for suppliers to expand their portfolio in supplying essential services to a substantial sub-central governmental entity. This offers a strategic entry point into the public sector market, capitalising on the demand for reliable electricity supply across significant utilities infrastructure.
