UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Quantum Multi Academy Trust is procuring mains gas supply contracts together with associated gas management services. The requirement covers the supply of gas and the supporting management activity needed to administer those arrangements. It is a goods procurement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as utility procurement adviser for the Trust. The opportunity is organised as one requirement rather than separate service areas, so suppliers should be able to provide the gas supply and associated management service together. It may suit energy suppliers, utility management providers and firms offering combined gas procurement and account-management services for education-sector estates. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure linked to a dynamic market. Membership of the relevant dynamic-market lot is required, and requests for quotations are issued to admitted suppliers. The enquiry deadline was 25 August 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was due by 26 August 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its gross estimated value is £260,000. Evaluation is weighted 70% price and 30% technical quality. Electronic submission is allowed and offers must be in English. The procedure was accelerated because tenderers were pre-selected as utilities or non-central-government suppliers.

This opportunity suits gas suppliers and energy-services businesses that can combine mains gas provision with contract and account management. The central commercial requirement is the ability to supply gas reliably across the Trust’s United Kingdom estate and support the associated management arrangements throughout the contract period. Suppliers must be admitted to the relevant dynamic-market lot before they can receive and respond to the request for quotation. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is not limited to large national utilities. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate both economic capability and technical suitability, with technical quality contributing materially to the evaluation alongside price. Firms experienced in public-sector energy supply, multi-site education customers, billing, consumption management and customer support are likely to be well placed to compete.
