UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NSB Trust procured mains and natural gas supply, together with associated utility management services. The requirement is a goods procurement focused on supplying gas to the Trust’s operations across the United Kingdom. Zenergi Limited acted as the procuring entity and utility procurement advisor, managing the process for the Trust. The arrangement is linked to a wider framework process and a dynamic market, through which suppliers admitted to the relevant gas lot could receive requests for quotations. This opportunity is therefore relevant to gas suppliers and businesses able to provide related utility procurement or account-management services for a public-sector customer with UK-wide delivery requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 July 2026 following an open competitive flexible procedure. It used a dynamic market, with membership required for participation, and six bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and technical quality at 30%; the lot was suitable for SMEs. Crown Gas and Power Limited was awarded the gas supply contract for £338,179.29 gross. The award contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender’s submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 13:00, with enquiries closing on 22 July 2026 at 13:00. The tender estimate was £210,000 gross.

This award demonstrates established demand from The NSB Trust for mains and natural gas supply combined with utility management. A credible future competitor would need to supply natural gas at public-sector scale, manage the associated customer and account-service requirements, and compete strongly on price while providing convincing technical quality. The route used a dynamic market, so suppliers would need to secure admission to the relevant market and gas lot before responding to requests for quotations. The six final-stage bids indicate competition from multiple providers. The lot was marked suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller gas suppliers with sufficient operational capacity, robust service delivery and the ability to manage a multi-year public-sector supply arrangement.
