UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clarion Housing Group is the buying organisation initiating a tender for "Void Utilities Services" involving the provision of utilities for unoccupied properties. The procurement falls under the services category with a focus on electricity and gas distribution, classified under CPV codes 65300000 and 65200000, respectively. Located in London, the buyer is a public authority operating at a sub-central government level. As of 5th August 2026, the process is in the planning stage, with significant dates including a due date for supplier feedback set for 26th August 2026 and a future notice date on 12th October 2026. The procurement is above the threshold with an estimated contract value being £3,500,000 (gross amount of £4,200,000) with a scheduled contract period starting on 11th January 2027 and an end date of 10th January 2030, with a possible extension until 2032. The process requires an NDA, with a deadline for its return being 12th August 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies specialising in utility services tailored to unoccupied properties. SMEs have expressed suitability for this contract, enabling smaller businesses to compete effectively. The procurement offers a generous contract value and a long-term engagement, making it lucrative for businesses focused on energy distribution. Given the requirements, companies with robust expertise in electricity and gas services and the capability to adhere to public procurement regulations would be well-positioned to engage. Engaging in this tender could not only provide steady income over several years but also enhance business credibility through association with a prominent public authority in London.
