Summary of the contracting process

South Cambridgeshire District Council has finalized a procurement process under the title "Small Sites Gas Supply" for the gas distribution industry, specifically covering small sites across South Cambs, United Kingdom (region UKH12). The process is at the contract award stage, having been completed with a direct procurement method, executed below the competitive threshold. The contract, valued at approximately £31,386 (gross £37,663.2), was signed on 12th November 2025 and is active from 15th November 2025 to 14th November 2026. British Gas Trading Limited, located in Berkshire, has been designated as the supplier for this service contract.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in gas supply and distribution services. Companies like British Gas Trading Limited, which operate on a large scale and have the capacity to manage service contracts at sub-central government levels, would find such opportunities attractive. The procurement method, which bypasses competitive bidding due to being below a threshold, could expedite contracting processes for qualified suppliers similar to British Gas, allowing them to gain a foothold or expand within regional markets like South Cambs.
