UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City College Norwich is seeking a supplier for mains gas to seven gas meters serving its college estate in Norwich. The requirement is for the purchase and supply of gas, with an estimated annual consumption of 0.5 GWh. Suppliers should be able to support consolidated billing, provide billing data in Excel format and accommodate green and brown pricing options. The buyer is City College Norwich, a public authority and further-education organisation. Delivery is to the college’s sites in Norwich. This is a utilities supply opportunity rather than an installation, maintenance or construction contract, so it is most relevant to licensed gas suppliers and energy businesses able to manage multi-meter public-sector accounts.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an estimated gross value of £106,869. Bids were due by 31 July 2026 at 12:00 noon. Requests for the tender document and enquiries were to be sent before that deadline to findatender@indigoswan.co.uk. Electronic submission was not allowed. The requirement is one lot. Award is based primarily on price, with billing arrangements, customer service, account management and added-value services also potentially considered. The buyer also welcomes green and brown pricing proposals, and requires 28-day direct debit terms.

This opportunity suits an Ofgem-registered gas supplier holding the relevant supply licence, as those are explicit participation requirements. A capable bidder will need to supply mains gas reliably across seven meters, manage an estimated annual volume of 0.5 GWh and support a public-sector customer over a multi-year arrangement. Operational fit matters alongside price: suppliers should be able to consolidate bills, produce an Excel billing file, offer 28-day direct debit terms and provide effective customer service and account management. Energy businesses with established metering, billing and account-support systems will therefore be well placed. Suppliers able to offer both green and brown pricing options, together with credible added-value services, may also align with the wider evaluation considerations.
