Summary of the contracting process

Gentoo Group is procuring energy consultancy services for its property portfolio in Sunderland. The appointed consultant manages and secures gas, electricity and water utilities, providing strategic procurement, contract management, monitoring and advisory services to obtain value for Gentoo and its customers. The portfolio is energy- and site-intensive, with more than 89 gas meters and 376 electricity meters. The requirement is classified as energy and related services. It is a single service requirement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work concerns utility procurement and ongoing management rather than the physical supply of gas, electricity or water, so relevant suppliers are energy procurement advisers, utility management consultancies and firms providing associated monitoring and strategic advice.

This below-threshold open competition is complete and has been awarded to The Monarch Partnership Limited trading as EIC Partnership. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and has a value of £32,550 gross. The contract runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2028, with two possible 12-month extensions, giving a maximum end date of 9 August 2030. The original estimated requirement was £60,000 gross. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 09:00, and enquiries closed on 3 June 2026 at 11:00. Bids could be submitted electronically. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a housing group for specialist utility procurement and energy consultancy across a substantial metered property portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage gas, electricity and water portfolios, develop and secure procurement strategies, oversee supplier contracts, monitor utility performance and provide practical commercial advice. Experience of working with large, dispersed property estates and energy- and site-intensive assets would be relevant, as would the capacity to manage hundreds of meters and coordinate multiple utility suppliers. Strong quality credentials matter because quality carried substantially greater weight than price in the evaluation. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a focused specialist consultancy can compete where it can demonstrate the required technical capability, service capacity and contract-management experience.
