Summary of the contracting process

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council procured energy administration services for its vacant (“void”) properties. The appointed provider is responsible for transferring energy suppliers, reinstating energy supplies at vacant properties, and managing the opening and closing of energy accounts. The requirement is a service contract covering energy management and related administrative support, including work associated with energy meters. Services are delivered for the council’s void-property portfolio in the Nuneaton and Bedworth area. This is a single service requirement rather than a set of separate work packages. The buyer is Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement was treated as a concession under the applicable procurement regime, although the requirement itself concerns utility administration rather than physical energy supply or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold open competition. Helpthemove Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 27 July 2026. The award was made on 1 August 2026, with the contract running from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The council may renew it for one further year plus one further year, with a maximum end date of 31 July 2031. The estimated tender value was £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The contract record shows a value of £0. Evaluation was based entirely on quality. Bids could be submitted electronically; enquiries closed on 16 April 2026 and tender submissions closed at noon on 29 April 2026.

This award indicates demand for a specialist utility-management partner able to administer energy accounts across a council’s vacant-property portfolio. A credible competitor would need to manage supplier transfers, reconnect or reinstate supplies, and open and close accounts accurately as properties change status. The requirement favours organisations with practical knowledge of energy markets, metering, account administration and council or housing-property workflows, rather than suppliers offering energy commodity supply alone. The service also sets clear operational expectations: provide weekly update reports, identify potential job overruns, and respond to queries within two working days. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable case management, clear reporting, responsive customer service and sufficient capacity to coordinate many property-level account changes for a public-sector housing operation.
