Summary of the contracting process

Choice Housing Ireland Limited is procuring landlord electricity supply services for its housing operations. The requirement covers electricity for domestic tariffs and business tariffs, together with associated electricity supplies, distribution and related services. The buyer is based in Belfast, and the services are intended for delivery across Northern Ireland. This is a single electricity supply requirement rather than a construction or equipment contract. Suppliers active in electricity supply, energy purchasing, tariff management, metering, customer account administration and electricity distribution-related services are the relevant market. The requirement is split commercially between domestic and business tariff awards, although both relate to the same landlord electricity supply arrangement. It is therefore relevant to energy suppliers able to serve housing landlords across Northern Ireland and manage both household and non-domestic consumption.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage following an open procedure. Four bids were received and all four reached the final stage; price was the sole evaluation criterion, weighted at 100%. Project Plug Ltd trading as Click Energy was selected for the domestic tariffs at an awarded value of £3,000,000 gross, with an award date of 17 August 2026. Power NI Energy Ltd was selected for the business tariffs at an awarded value of £3,000,000 gross, also dated 17 August 2026. Each award covers the period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with renewal permitted. The standstill period ends on 26 August 2026, and contract signature was scheduled for 28 August 2026. Both awards remained pending at publication.

This procurement demonstrates recurring demand from Choice Housing Ireland Limited for managed landlord electricity supply across domestic and business customer groups. A credible future competitor would need to supply electricity at housing-sector scale, offer commercially competitive tariffs and price transparently, because the award was decided entirely on price. Capability across both household and business energy requirements would be valuable, as would operational capacity to manage separate tariff arrangements under one landlord relationship. Relevant strengths include energy procurement and trading, billing and account management, customer support, metering coordination and liaison with distribution network operators. Suppliers should also be able to maintain reliable service for dispersed housing properties across Northern Ireland and provide the administrative and reporting capability expected by a large housing provider. The successful supplier profile was established energy businesses rather than small or community organisations.
