Summary of the contracting process

Zenith Multi Academy Trust established a Dynamic Market for the physical supply of mains gas and electricity to all of its sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement includes associated invoicing and query-management services, so relevant suppliers need to provide both the energy supply and supporting account administration. Gas is a separate requirement from electricity, with each covering the Authority’s sites. The buyer is Zenith Multi Academy Trust, supported by Zenergi Limited as utility procurement adviser. This is a goods procurement focused on energy supply rather than installation, construction or energy-efficiency works. Suppliers serving education estates or other multi-site public-sector organisations may find the scope particularly relevant, especially where they can manage multiple meters, billing arrangements and customer queries.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage, with active awards for both requirements. The gas award was made to SEFE Energy Limited, SSE Energy Supply Limited, Brook Green Supply Limited, Shell Energy UK Limited, TotalEnergies Gas and Power Limited, Crown Gas and Power 2 Limited, Npower Commercial Gas Limited, YÜ Energy Retail Limited and British Gas Trading Limited. The electricity award was made to Good Energy Ltd and SSE Energy Supply Limited. This is an open procedure establishing a Dynamic Market under section 34 of the Procurement Act 2023. The market runs from 23 June 2026 to 19 June 2031. It uses separate gas and electricity lots, permits electronic submission, and supports competitive selection among admitted suppliers. No monetary value is published.

This opportunity shows sustained demand from a multi-site academy trust for competitively procured gas and electricity, with supply and customer administration handled together. The successful supplier group indicates that credible competitors include established energy companies with the scale to serve public-sector estates, manage physical commodity supply and support multiple authority sites. Relevant capability includes robust metering and supply operations, accurate and consolidated invoicing, responsive query management, and the systems needed to participate in competitive selections within a Dynamic Market. Experience serving schools, academies or other distributed estates would help demonstrate operational fit. Energy retailers that can offer renewable electricity may also be relevant, as Good Energy Ltd was among the electricity suppliers admitted. The separate gas and electricity requirements allow businesses to focus on their strongest capability.
