Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Supply of Gas to Corporate and School Buildings" under the NEPO framework has been completed by Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council. This contract falls under the industry category of petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy, classified by CPV as 09000000, and involves the supply of goods. The procurement method was limited, with the award procedure taking place without prior publication of a call for competition, and it was directly awarded from an established framework. The award, valued at £9,000,000, was signed on 1st April 2026, and the main supplier is Corona Energy. The delivery location for the gas supply is in the UKD73 region, specifically Bootle, United Kingdom. This contract had an available extension option, originally designed to last 36 months with a possible 12-month extension.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those involved with the supply of petroleum products and gas, to explore potential growth via established frameworks. As the procurement was conducted on the commodity market without a prior competition call, it could particularly benefit large-scale suppliers who are flexible and able to meet bulk energy supply demands. Although the awarded supplier is Corona Energy, other businesses can consider similar opportunities or seek involvement in future frameworks with regional authorities like Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council. This contract highlights the importance of frameworks in public procurement and suggests avenues for expansion in energy supply to government bodies and educational institutions.
