Summary of the contracting process

The Delta Academies Trust, a Multi Academy Trust based in Knottingley, United Kingdom, has initiated a tender process for the procurement of electricity supplies intended for academies located in Yorkshire and the Humber. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically covering the electricity supply industry, with a total estimated contract value of £20,000,000. The tender comprises two active lots: one for half-hour metered supplies valued at £15,000,000 and another for non-half-hour metered supplies valued at £5,000,000. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with a closing date for submissions on 4th August 2026. The tendering process follows an open procedure allowing for electronic submissions and is open to variants, with the bid opening scheduled for 5th August 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in supplying electricity, particularly those capable of managing large-scale supply contracts in the educational sector. Companies that specialise in energy services can benefit from the long-term nature of this procurement, as each contract extends for approximately three years without renewal options. The open procurement method provides an accessible entry point for new and established suppliers who can demonstrate competitive pricing and efficient delivery mechanisms. This opportunity is particularly suitable for businesses located in or with operational capabilities in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, given the regional focus of the supply requirements.
