Summary of the contracting process

The NSB Trust established a dynamic market for the physical supply of mains gas and electricity to all its sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement includes associated invoicing and query-management services, so relevant suppliers need to provide the energy supplies as well as manage billing and customer queries. Gas is covered as a separate requirement from electricity, which includes electricity supplies. The Trust is the public-sector buyer, with Zenergi Limited acting as utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. This is a supply opportunity rather than works or consultancy: it is aimed at energy suppliers able to serve the Authority’s sites and support the related administration across the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded and the dynamic market is active. It was run as an open procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, using a dynamic market arrangement. The market period runs from 8 July 2026 to 6 July 2031. The gas lot was awarded to British Gas Trading, Brook Green Supply, Crown Gas and Power, Npower Commercial Gas, TotalEnergies Gas and Power, Good Energy, SSE Energy Supply, YÜ Energy Retail and Conrad Energy Group. The electricity lot was awarded to British Gas Trading, Brook Green Supply, Drax Energy Solutions, Npower Commercial Gas and TotalEnergies Gas and Power. Electronic submissions were allowed, and suppliers could apply for admission to the market for subsequent competitive selections.

This procurement shows sustained public-sector demand for combined gas and electricity supply, with billing and query management treated as part of the service. The buyer’s route is a dynamic market, so credible competitors need the systems and operational capacity to supply energy across multiple Authority sites and to handle accurate invoicing, account administration and customer queries. The award pattern indicates that established commercial energy suppliers were well placed to compete, while Conrad Energy Group’s selection for gas shows that an SME-scale supplier can also qualify for that requirement. Suppliers considering future opportunities with The NSB Trust should be able to demonstrate reliable physical energy procurement and delivery, robust public-sector account management, and the ability to participate in competitive selections within the market.
