Summary of the contracting process

The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem), located in London, is in the planning stage of a procurement process to establish a new Energy and Economic Services and Advice Framework Agreement. This endeavour aims to provide a range of services and advice pertaining to sectors such as gas, electricity, renewable energy, heat networks, and economics. The framework is intended to come into effect in September 2026, following the conclusion of the current agreement in August 2026. Key information includes its planned location within the UK, and it falls under the industry category of energy services as defined by CPV classifications. The open procurement method will be used, and the notification regarding the tender is expected on 1st April 2026.

This framework presents considerable business growth opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs capable of offering expertise in areas such as gas and electricity distribution, renewable technologies, and economic consultancy. Companies specialising in engineering, energy-related services, and financial consultancy may find this opportunity particularly fitting. With the substantial budget of £13.33 million, competition in this tender could lead to long-term partnerships and an avenue for gaining substantial contracts within the public energy sector.
