Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Orion Education - HH Electricity" contract is being conducted by Orion Education, located in Chislehurst, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the "Electricity" industry category, and it involves the procurement of supply contracts and associated management services for HH meters. The procurement is in the "tender" stage, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 3rd August 2026 and the contract period running from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2028. The open procurement method employs a competitive flexible procedure, with an accelerated rationale due to it being outside central government requirements.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in electricity supply and management services. Ideal competitors would include SME (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) members of a dynamic market focusing on cost and technical expertise, as the award criteria heavily weigh pricing (70%) alongside technical quality (30%). With a gross contract value of £1,200,000 GBP, businesses that are strategically positioned to offer competitive pricing and high technical standards can significantly benefit from this tender opportunity. The public authority nature of the client, Orion Education, and the structured procurement process offer a reliable business growth avenue for suitable suppliers.
