UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxford City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a significant contract focused on the supply of gas and electricity. This procurement is classified under the 'goods' category and involves a framework for utilities, aimed at providing mains gas and electricity within the region of Oxford. The process, initiated as a tender, is valued at £4,200,000 in gross terms and is aligned with legal requirements as per UK legislation 2023/54. The planned sourcing period is extensive, running from 1st September 2028 to 31st August 2032. Interested suppliers should take note of the upcoming notice date set for 29th January 2027, offering ample time for preparation.

This procurement opportunity presents significant business growth potential for energy suppliers, particularly those specialising in utility services such as mains gas and renewable energy sources. Businesses with experience in public authority contracts, especially at the sub-central government level, would be well-suited to participate. The large scale and long duration of the contract allow suppliers to secure a stable revenue stream while potentially enhancing their portfolio in the energy sector. Firms positioned in Oxford or with the capacity to operate within the UKJ14 region are particularly advantaged, given the specific delivery requirements denoted in the tender documents.
