UK13 - Dynamic Market Intention Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Quantock Education Trust established a dynamic market for the physical supply of electricity and gas to all its authority sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement is divided into two areas: electricity supply, including associated invoicing and query management, and mains or natural gas supply with the same support services. This is a goods procurement focused on commercial energy supply rather than energy consultancy, construction or facilities management. Quantock Education Trust is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited acting as utility procurement adviser. Suppliers need to support delivery to the Trust’s sites and provide accurate billing and effective handling of customer queries alongside the physical supply of electricity or gas.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the dynamic market is active. It uses an open dynamic-market procedure under section 34 of the Procurement Act 2023, allowing suppliers to apply for admission during its duration and enabling competitive selections among admitted suppliers. The market period starts on 5 August 2026 and has no stated end date. The establishment notice was published on 6 August 2026, with later modifications dated 20 August, 9 September and 19 September 2026. Electricity was awarded to Conrad Energy Group, Drax Energy Solutions, Good Energy, Npower Commercial Gas, GETVOLTER, YÜ Energy Retail, Crown Gas and Power 2, SSE Energy Supply, British Gas Trading, Corona Energy Retail, TotalEnergies Gas and Power, Ecotricity, SEFE Energy and Brook Green Supply. Gas was awarded to Crown Gas and Power, Npower Commercial Gas, YÜ Energy Retail and SSE Energy Supply. No contract values are stated.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for a supplier capable of physically supplying electricity or gas across a multi-site education estate, while also managing invoices and customer queries. The buyer’s route to market is a dynamic market rather than a one-off conventional tender, so credible competitors would need to understand admission requirements and participate in later competitive selections. The supplier group shows that the requirement can be served by both specialist smaller businesses and large energy companies, but all must have dependable wholesale procurement, customer account management, billing controls and operational capacity. Electricity suppliers should be able to support a broad education-site portfolio; gas suppliers need equivalent capability for mains and natural gas. Experience serving public-sector or multi-site customers would strengthen a future proposition.
