Summary of the contracting process

Lee Chapel Multi Academy Trust procured electricity supplies together with associated management services. The requirement covers the supply of electricity for the trust’s operations, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The buyer is Lee Chapel Multi Academy Trust, while Zenergi Limited acted as the utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. The procurement was treated as a goods requirement, with electricity and electricity supplies as the stated classifications. The opportunity was structured as one requirement rather than separate lots. It is relevant to electricity suppliers, energy companies and organisations able to manage public-sector electricity supply arrangements for an academy trust. The selected supplier was Conrad Energy (Trading) Limited, an SME based in Abingdon.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open competitive flexible procedure. Seven bids reached the final stage. Price carried 70% of the evaluation weighting and technical quality 30%. The requirement was above the relevant threshold and used an accelerated process for pre-selected utilities tenderers. Membership of the relevant dynamic market was required. The contract was awarded to Conrad Energy (Trading) Limited on 15 September 2026. The award value is £837,359 gross. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The original estimated value for the single lot was £515,000 gross, with the tender closing on 27 July 2026. Electronic submission was allowed in English.

This award demonstrates established demand from an academy trust for a combined electricity supply and energy-management service, rather than electricity supply alone. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable electricity procurement and supply, manage the associated customer and contract arrangements, and present a technically strong service alongside competitive pricing. The evaluation shows that commercial value is the dominant consideration, but technical quality remains material. Suppliers would also need to understand and operate through the relevant dynamic market, since admission to that market was a condition of participation. The outcome shows that an SME electricity supplier can compete successfully for this type of public-sector requirement. Experience serving organisations with multiple operational sites or education-sector energy needs would support a strong proposition.
