Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the supply of mains gas to West Northamptonshire Norse Limited involves an open competition for two gas meters starting on 1 April 2026, with contracts considered for 12, 24, and 36-month durations. As a sub-central government authority based in Norwich, West Northamptonshire Norse Limited is the buyer, and the tender falls under the 'goods' category, specifically targeting the provision of mains gas. The procurement stage is now complete, with a contract signed as of 10 March 2026. The contract runs until 31 March 2028, with SEFE Energy Limited selected as the supplier. This contract presents a significant supply volume of 0.2 GWH per annum and allows for varied pricing options, including green and brown pricing.

This tender offers notable opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in gas supply and energy management. Companies that are registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant supply licences are especially well-suited to compete, as the award criteria prioritise price alongside factors like billing requirements, customer service, account management, and added value services. The process enables businesses to secure a considerable contract with a public authority, thereby enhancing their portfolio and expanding their footprint in the supply of energy resources to governmental entities. Businesses can also leverage potential customer service and account management improvements to differentiate themselves in the market. With open procurement methods, businesses possessing capabilities in e-invoicing and providing Excel billing solutions may find this tender particularly advantageous for growth.
