Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited procured landlord electricity supply services for its housing portfolio in Northern Ireland. The requirement covers electricity, electricity supplies, distribution and related services (CPV 09310000), divided between domestic tariffs and business tariffs. The work is for supplying and administering electricity for the landlord’s domestic and business premises across Northern Ireland. The buyer is a public undertaking based in Belfast. The two tariff areas are distinct commercial requirements within the same procurement, so relevant suppliers may need capability in one or both customer segments. The procurement concerns energy supply rather than construction, facilities management or general utility infrastructure works.

The procurement is complete following an open procedure. Four bids were received, and the award basis was price only, weighted at 100%. The domestic tariffs award went to Project Plug Ltd trading as Click Energy for £3,000,000 gross. The business tariffs award went to Power NI Energy Ltd for £3,000,000 gross. Both awards were made on 17 August 2026, with the standstill period ending on 26 August 2026. Both contracts were signed on 28 August 2026 and run from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Each contract has a maximum extent date of 1 September 2028, and renewal rights apply. Electronic submissions in English were permitted through the eTendersNI portal.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Choice Housing Ireland Limited for landlord electricity supply serving both domestic and business customers. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be electricity providers able to price domestic and commercial tariffs separately, manage customer accounts and billing, and arrange reliable electricity distribution and related services across Northern Ireland. The evaluation shows that competitive pricing is decisive: the successful bids were assessed entirely on price. Credibility would therefore depend on a strong wholesale purchasing position, accurate tariff modelling, robust systems for handling different customer classes and sufficient operational capacity to support a housing provider’s portfolio. Experience supplying landlords, housing associations or similarly distributed estates would also help demonstrate that the service can be delivered consistently.
