Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council sought an energy supplier for vacant Council residential properties in Edinburgh. The requirement covered the supply of energy and related services, including energy metering. It was a service contract for properties that were unoccupied, rather than a construction or refurbishment project. Delivery was associated with the Council’s residential housing stock in Edinburgh. The buyer was The City of Edinburgh Council, a local authority. The requirement was presented as a single service covering the Council’s void residential properties, with the detailed operational scope set out in the procurement documents. This opportunity would suit energy suppliers able to manage supply arrangements and metering for a public-sector residential property portfolio.

The procurement was cancelled and the associated award was marked unsuccessful with the status detail “discontinued”. The cancellation was recorded on 18 August 2026. It had been run as an open procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations, with electronic submission in English. The estimated value was £1,260,000. The planned contract period was 2,520 days, with a stated recurrence period of 84 months; the Council also reserved an option to procure repeat requirements of a similar nature without a further competition. Bids were due by 31 August 2026 at 5pm, with bid opening at the same time. Evaluation was weighted 60% quality and 40% price. No supplier was awarded the contract.

Although this procurement was discontinued, it demonstrates demand from the City of Edinburgh Council for managed energy supply to vacant residential properties, including associated metering. A credible future supplier would need the operational capacity to support a dispersed public-sector housing portfolio, maintain accurate meter and consumption information, and manage supply reliably while properties are unoccupied. The buyer’s evaluation placed greater weight on quality than price, so evidence of service controls, continuity, responsive account management and effective performance monitoring would be important. Suppliers would also need suitable financial resilience, quality-management and health-and-safety systems, and substantial public, employers’ and professional indemnity insurance. The requirement was reserved to a particular profession, so relevant sector authorisation and experience would also be important.
