Summary of the contracting process

Haberdashers' Aske's Federation Trust is procuring fixed energy supplies for a multi-site portfolio with varied consumption profiles across the United Kingdom. The requirement is divided between REGO-backed electricity and natural gas. The selected suppliers are expected to provide reliable supply, competitive fixed pricing, accurate and transparent billing, responsive account management, and proactive management of market, continuity, regulatory and sustainability risks. Ginger Energy managed the procurement for the Trust. This is a goods requirement for organisations able to supply energy across multiple sites and support the Trust’s operational and environmental objectives. The electricity lot covers certified renewable electricity, while the gas lot covers fixed natural gas supply.

The procurement has reached the award stage. Drax Energy Solutions Limited was selected for the electricity lot at £3,200,000 net (£3,840,000 gross), and Shell Energy UK Limited was selected for the natural gas lot at £700,000 net (£839,999.94 gross). Both awards were dated 18 September 2026, with standstill ending on 29 September 2026 and signature scheduled for 30 September 2026. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029, with an extension option allowing a maximum duration to 30 September 2030. The open procedure evaluated price at 40%, service and operational arrangements at 25%, product and operational processes at 25%, and social value at 10%.

This award provides a clear benchmark for energy suppliers targeting future requirements from the Trust. Credible competitors will need to hold Ofgem registration and a valid GB Supply Licence, demonstrate the financial and operational capacity to supply a multi-site education portfolio, and offer dependable fixed-price energy arrangements. Strong capability in account management, billing accuracy, audit-ready pricing and handling varied consumption profiles will be important. Suppliers should also be able to evidence scalable processes, regulatory compliance, continuity of supply, market and price-risk management, and practical sustainability support. The evaluation shows that commercial competitiveness matters, but service quality, operational delivery, social value and transparent pricing will also shape the Trust’s assessment.
