UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orion Education procured electricity supplied through half-hourly (HH) meters, together with associated utility management services. The requirement covers electricity supply contracts and the management activities supporting them, rather than electrical installation, construction or general energy consultancy. Orion Education is the buyer, with Zenergi Limited acting as the utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is classed as goods, with electricity as the main product category. It formed part of a wider dynamic market arrangement for utility requirements. Suppliers therefore needed to provide the electricity supply service and the related contract-management capability for Orion Education’s metered electricity portfolio.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open competitive flexible procedure using a dynamic market. Six bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME. The award was made to TEM Energy Limited on 3 August 2026 for £1,235,004.23 gross. The original estimated value was £1,200,000 gross. The single lot was evaluated on price, weighted at 70%, and technical quality, weighted at 30%; economic and technical selection requirements applied. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The award record schedules signature for 13 August 2026. Bids could be submitted electronically in English, and the procedure used an accelerated timetable for pre-selected utilities tenderers.

This award shows a public education buyer’s demand for a substantial, UK-wide half-hourly electricity supply arrangement combined with utility management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to supply electricity reliably across a portfolio of metered sites and manage the associated procurement and account-servicing activities. The route to market is important: suppliers must be admitted to the relevant dynamic market before responding to its quotations, so capability to operate within that arrangement is essential. Price is the dominant evaluation factor, but technical quality remains significant. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist supplier with adequate operational capacity, electricity-market capability and strong technical delivery evidence could compete.
