Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, organised by Liverpool City Council, focuses on the "Supply of Electricity and Gas" within the goods category for the UKD72 region. The process is at the award stage, having concluded with the contract signed on 12th September 2025. The procurement method was limited, awarded without prior publication due to the procurement falling outside certain directive scopes. The tender involves a brokered provision of electricity and gas, with West Mercia Energy acting as a supplier following their successful bid, which was valued at £51,000,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities primarily for large energy suppliers capable of providing electricity and gas on a substantial scale via brokerage. The procurement was awarded on quality and price criteria, emphasising a competitive edge in these areas. Businesses with expertise in energy supply and established connections with brokers are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities, which can enhance regional authority collaborations and expand operational reach within local council frameworks.
