Summary of the contracting process

The Sigma Trust procured the physical supply of electricity to all of its sites across the United Kingdom, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. This is an electricity supply opportunity, classified under CPV 09310000, and is primarily a goods requirement rather than a construction or professional-services contract. The Sigma Trust is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited acting as its utility procurement adviser. The requirement covers the Authority’s sites nationally, so relevant suppliers need to support electricity delivery across the UK and provide the accompanying billing and customer-query functions. The procurement is structured as a single requirement within a dynamic market for electricity supply.

The procurement has reached the award stage: a dynamic market was established under the Procurement Act 2023, with the award recorded as active. The market’s stated mechanism allows the Authority to run competitive selections among admitted suppliers and was established on 26 June 2026. The award covers one lot and has no published monetary value. Nine suppliers were selected: Good Energy Ltd, Npower Commercial Gas Limited, SSE Energy Supply Limited, TotalEnergies Gas and Power Limited, Brook Green Supply Limited, British Gas Trading Limited, Conrad Energy Group Limited, YÜ ENERGY RETAIL LIMITED and Drax Energy Solutions Limited. The procedure was an open process using a dynamic market, with electronic submission allowed. The market has an unlimited stated duration.

This requirement demonstrates established demand from a multi-site education-sector buyer for nationwide electricity supply combined with operational account management. Suppliers well placed for a future competition would be energy retailers or licensed commercial electricity providers able to serve sites across the UK, manage physical supply and support accurate, responsive invoicing. They would also need effective processes for handling billing queries and coordinating account administration across multiple Authority locations. The appointed supplier group includes major energy companies and an SME, showing that credible participation depends on demonstrable supply capability and public-sector service capacity rather than one particular corporate scale. Businesses tracking this buyer should be prepared to compete through a dynamic-market route and to evidence reliable electricity operations, customer support and the ability to manage a geographically dispersed estate.
