Summary of the contracting process

Valentines High School procured the supply of electricity and associated energy management services. The requirement covers electricity supplies for the school, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Valentines High School is the buying organisation, while Zenergi Limited acted as the utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. The procurement is classified as a goods requirement, centred on electricity rather than construction or consultancy. The awarded supplier is responsible for supplying the electricity covered by the requirement. Businesses active in electricity supply, energy procurement or related utility management services would find this buyer and requirement relevant, particularly those able to support a public-sector school customer through an organised electricity purchasing arrangement. The requirement was structured as a single lot covering the electricity supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 September 2026 to Conrad Energy Group Limited. The award value is £219,350 gross for electricity supply, covering 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The wider lot had a gross estimated value of £390,000 and a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. It used an open competitive flexible procedure, with accelerated handling for pre-selected utilities and other eligible suppliers. Participation required membership of the relevant dynamic market, from which requests for quotations were issued. The submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at noon; enquiries closed on 23 August at noon. Evaluation weighted price at 70% and technical quality at 30%. Eight bids reached the final stage, including one from an SME.

This award indicates a defined school-sector demand for competitively sourced electricity, with the requirement evaluated primarily on price while still giving substantial weight to technical quality. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide electricity reliably, manage the associated procurement or account-service obligations, and present a technically sound delivery approach alongside competitive pricing. Access to the relevant dynamic market is an important route requirement, since quotations were sought from suppliers admitted to its relevant lot. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, and one SME reached the final stage among eight bids, showing that smaller electricity suppliers can compete where they meet the market-admission and technical requirements. Relevant businesses include electricity suppliers and specialist energy-management providers able to support a school customer within a structured public-sector process.
