Summary of the contracting process

Concertus Suffolk Limited is procuring a UK-wide energy framework for public authorities and public undertakings. It covers the supply of electricity and associated supplementary services under one lot, and natural gas and associated supplementary services under another. Services may include energy portfolio consultancy, bureau services and support for implementing energy-efficiency schemes, including potential savings-sharing arrangements. The framework is intended for use by government bodies, councils, emergency services, health authorities, educational establishments, schools, housing associations and the Ministry of Defence. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as services and relates to electricity, natural gas, and energy-related services. Concertus Suffolk Limited is a public undertaking wholly owned by Suffolk County Council.

The procurement has reached award stage following an open competitive flexible procedure. EDF Energy Limited was selected for the electricity lot at £90,000,000 gross, with an award date of 17 August 2026 and a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2030. SEFE Energy Limited was selected for the gas lot at £60,000,000 gross, on the same award date and contract period. A standstill period ends on 26 August 2026, with signature scheduled for 2 September 2026. Evaluation gave 30% to price and 70% to quality, covering account management, trading and pricing, framework requirements, supplementary services and social value. Each lot was evaluated separately and received three final-stage bids.

This opportunity demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for major electricity and gas supply delivered through a framework, with requirements extending beyond commodity provision. Competitors would need the relevant Ofgem supply licence for the energy lot concerned, robust financial capacity and the required insurance cover. Credible suppliers should be able to demonstrate effective account management, billing, query resolution and contract performance management, supported by an experienced proposed team. Trading capability, flexible pricing and a functioning trading desk are central to the service model. Suppliers should also be prepared to provide energy portfolio consultancy, bureau services and energy-efficiency support. Evidence of sound subcontractor management, a recognised health and safety management system, data protection compliance and meaningful social value would strengthen future competition.
