Summary of the contracting process

City College Norwich procured mains electricity for seven non-half-hourly meters at its Norwich site. The requirement covers the supply of electricity, with an estimated annual volume of 0.3 GWh. This is an energy supply contract rather than installation or infrastructure work. The buyer is City College Norwich, and delivery is in Norfolk, England. The tender also welcomed both green and brown electricity pricing, indicating that suppliers could offer either or both pricing types. The requirement was grouped as a single lot, covering the college’s seven meters rather than separate geographic or meter-based packages.

The procurement is complete: EDF Energy Customers Limited was selected and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with a signed value of £172,128 including VAT. The tender had an estimated gross value of £229,349. It used a competitive flexible procedure with a selective approach; the buyer cited urgency linked to rapidly changing energy markets. The expression-of-interest deadline was 18 May 2026, with award expected by 29 May 2026. Price was the primary award basis, favouring the lowest fixed rates and standing charges; billing, customer service, account management and added-value services could also be considered. Suppliers had to be Ofgem-registered and hold the relevant supply licence.

For energy suppliers considering similar college requirements, credibility depends on holding Ofgem registration and the relevant electricity supply licence, with financial approval for the contracting party. The service must support 28-day direct debit, consolidated billing and provision of billing data in Excel. Suppliers should be able to price green and brown electricity, and compete on fixed unit rates and standing charges while supporting reliable customer service and account management. The buyer’s requirement spans multiple non-half-hourly meters and calls for consolidated energy supply and billing, so operational capability across the full meter portfolio matters. The selected supplier was a large energy company, demonstrating that the requirement was delivered by an established supplier able to meet these licensing, credit and billing conditions.
