UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security & Net Zero is procuring an ongoing, website-based subscription providing access to gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) market analysis, data and reports. The service is intended to support the Department’s energy-market intelligence and analysis needs. It is a subscription service delivered across the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on the Department’s behalf as its shared service provider. The requirement covers a single service package and includes the ability to obtain additional licences during the contract where needed. This is a specialist information and data service rather than physical goods, construction or operational energy infrastructure. Suppliers offering authoritative gas and LNG market information, analytical reporting and web-based access are the most directly relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an above-threshold open procedure. Rystad Energy Limited was selected on 2 September 2026. The award is valued at £195,000 excluding VAT (£234,000 including VAT). The awarded contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2028, with an optional 12-month extension available until 19 September 2029, valued at £65,000 excluding VAT. The tender closed on 23 July 2026, and the enquiry period ended on 9 July 2026. Four bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME. Evaluation placed 85% on technical quality and 15% on commercial factors. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Additional licences could be purchased on a call-off basis.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a specialist, continuously available gas and LNG market intelligence service. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable web-based access to comprehensive market data, research and reports, supported by strong technical quality. The requirement favours suppliers with demonstrable expertise in gas and LNG markets, robust data collection and analysis, and the ability to maintain a dependable subscription platform over an extended service period. Capacity to supply additional licences on a call-off basis would help accommodate changing user requirements within the Department. The evaluation’s strong emphasis on technical quality means depth, accuracy, usability and service resilience are likely to matter more than price alone. The participation of an SME indicates that the capability can be delivered by a suitably focused specialist, not only a large incumbent.
