UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Group intends to procure utility services for properties that are temporarily vacant between tenancies. The requirement covers the provision of electricity and gas, including electricity distribution and related services and gas distribution and related services. This is a services contract for void housing properties managed by Clarion Housing Group. The work is associated with the buyer’s housing stock, although the procurement information does not identify individual delivery locations. The requirement is classified as a utilities procurement and is above the relevant threshold. Suppliers operating in utility supply, distribution, metering, account management or related property services may find the scope relevant, particularly those able to support housing providers with reliable utilities provision for properties during void periods.

The procurement is at the planning stage: Clarion Housing Group has stated its intention to procure, but this stage does not invite tenders. The buyer expects a future notice on 12 October 2026. It has set out one lot, with an expected contract period from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2030 and an option to extend to 10 January 2032. The estimated value is £3.5 million excluding VAT, or £4.2 million including VAT. The buyer is undertaking preliminary market engagement and asks suppliers to review draft specifications and terms and provide feedback. Suppliers must sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving or reviewing the shared information. Feedback and NDA returns are expected through Atamis by 12 August 2026 at noon.

The procurement is likely to suit established electricity and gas providers, distribution businesses and specialist utility service companies with the operational capacity to serve housing properties at scale. Clarion Housing Group has indicated that the requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller suppliers with relevant supply, network, metering, billing or account-management capability may wish to prepare. Businesses should be ready to review draft technical and contractual requirements, identify practical delivery considerations for vacant properties and provide commercially useful feedback during the engagement exercise. An NDA is required for the engagement material. Suppliers with experience supporting housing associations, landlords or property portfolios may be well placed when the procurement reaches the market.
