Summary of the contracting process

Bohunt Education Trust procured flexible electricity supply for its non-half-hourly (NHH) and half-hourly (HH) meters, together with associated electricity contract management services. The requirement covers multi-purchase and flexible electricity contracts rather than a single fixed supply arrangement. Electricity is to be delivered across the United Kingdom. Bohunt Education Trust is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited acting as the utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. This is a goods procurement focused on electricity supply, with supplier management capability also required. The requirement may suit energy suppliers and specialist utility organisations able to manage varied meter portfolios, flexible purchasing arrangements and the related administration for an education trust.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TotalEnergies Gas and Power Limited on 30 July 2026. The award covers one lot for electricity supply, recorded at £3,635,000, with a gross value of £3,700,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. It used an accelerated open competitive flexible procedure, with participation linked to membership of the relevant dynamic market. Four bids were received and one reached the final stage. The tender deadline was 27 July 2026 at 13:00, with enquiries closing on 26 July 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and technical quality at 30%. The lot was identified as suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from an education trust for flexible electricity purchasing across both half-hourly and non-half-hourly meters, combined with ongoing management services. A credible future competitor would need to supply electricity at scale, structure and administer multi-purchase or flexible contracts, and manage a varied public-sector meter portfolio reliably. Strong technical capability would matter alongside competitive pricing, because quality formed a substantial part of the evaluation. Suppliers would also need to understand the operational requirements of schools and education estates, including accurate meter management, purchasing administration, reporting and customer support. Access to the relevant dynamic market is an important route requirement for this buyer’s procurement model. The successful supplier was a large energy company, while the lot was suitable for SMEs.
