Summary of the contracting process

Quantum Multi Academy Trust has established a dynamic market for the physical supply of mains gas and electricity to all its sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement includes associated invoicing and query-management services. Gas is covered as a separate supply lot, while electricity includes electricity supplies and related delivery. The buyer is Quantum Multi Academy Trust, with Zenergi Limited acting as its utility procurement adviser. This is a goods procurement focused on the dependable physical delivery of energy and the administration needed to bill and manage supply queries across the Trust’s estate. Suppliers may be admitted to the dynamic market and can then take part in competitive selection processes for the Trust’s energy requirements.

The procurement has reached the awarded establishment stage: the dynamic market is active and suppliers have been admitted to both supply lots. The procedure is an open dynamic market under section 34 of the Procurement Act 2023, with electronic submissions allowed. The gas lot has nine admitted suppliers: British Gas Trading, Crown Gas and Power, SSE Energy Supply, TotalEnergies Gas and Power, YÜ Energy Retail, GETVOLTER, TEM Energy, SEFE Energy and Ecotricity. The electricity lot has eight: Conrad Energy Group, Drax Energy Solutions, Good Energy, Npower Commercial Gas, SSE Energy Supply, TotalEnergies Gas and Power, YÜ ENERGY RETAIL and British Gas Trading. The market starts on 15 July 2026 and has been amended on 3, 13 August and 9 September 2026.

This opportunity demonstrates continuing public-sector demand for suppliers able to provide physical gas and electricity across a multi-site education estate, supported by reliable billing and responsive query management. The admitted supplier group includes both large energy companies and SMEs, indicating that credible participation is not limited to one business scale. A competitor would need the regulatory, operational and commercial capability to supply energy to public-sector sites across the UK, manage multiple supply points and maintain accurate invoicing. It would also need systems and staff able to handle customer queries consistently, support competitive selections within the dynamic market and meet the Trust’s service requirements for both gas and electricity. Energy retailers, generators with supply capability and specialist public-sector energy suppliers are the most directly relevant businesses.
