UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The ONWARD GROUP LIMITED, situated in Manchester, United Kingdom, has announced a planned procurement process for the supply of electricity and gas to its sites. This process is currently in the planning stage, with a contract period set to start on 1st October 2026 and end on 30th September 2027. Categorised under the industry of petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy, this procurement is classified as a public authority sub-central government undertaking. The procurement method is selective, executed under a framework agreement, with the contract value grossing an estimated £5,000,000. Potential suppliers should note the significant scope for providing both metered and unmetered, half-hourly and non-half-hourly electricity, alongside gas services, across the UKD region.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the energy sector, particularly those experienced in large-scale supply contracts with public authorities. The framework nature of the agreement suggests that businesses already associated with or capable of entering such frameworks stand to benefit the most. Companies that specialise in innovative energy solutions or have strong logistics and distribution networks to manage the diverse supply requirements across regions are well-suited to compete. This procurement could serve as a significant growth driver for industry participants aiming to expand their market presence within the public sector energy supply domain.
