Summary of the contracting process

Lee Chapel Multi Academy Trust established a dynamic market for the physical supply of electricity to all of its sites, including associated invoicing and query-management services. The requirement is for electricity supplies rather than installation, construction or energy-efficiency works. Delivery covers the Authority’s sites in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Essex. Zenergi Limited acts as the utility procurement adviser managing the process. The opportunity is relevant to electricity suppliers able to provide physical power to multiple public-sector sites and support the related billing and customer-query service. It may also suit suppliers with established public-sector account-management arrangements, although the requirement is principally for the supply of electricity and associated administration.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the dynamic market was established on 9 July 2026 under the Procurement Act 2023. It used an open procedure as a dynamic market, with electronic submissions allowed. One active lot covers the electricity requirement. The market starts on 9 July 2026 and has no stated end point; suppliers can apply for admission throughout its duration, after which the Authority can run competitive selections among admitted suppliers. The award was made to Good Energy Ltd, Npower Commercial Gas Limited, SSE Energy Supply Limited, TotalEnergies Gas and Power Limited, YÜ Energy Retail Limited, Crown Gas and Power Limited, British Gas Trading Limited, Conrad Energy Group Limited and Drax Energy Solutions Limited. No award or contract value is published.

This award demonstrates established demand from a multi-site academy trust for physical electricity supply combined with dependable invoicing and query management. The successful supplier group is dominated by large energy companies, alongside an SME, indicating that both substantial market capacity and a credible smaller-supplier operating model can be relevant. A competitor for a future selection would need to be an electricity supplier capable of serving all Authority sites, managing supply arrangements across multiple locations and maintaining accurate billing. It would also need customer-service capability for handling invoice queries and other account issues, together with the operational resilience to participate in electronic competitive selections within a dynamic market. Experience serving public-sector or similarly distributed customer estates would strengthen credibility.
