Summary of the contracting process

Anglian Water Services is procuring energy invoice validation and data bureau services. The work covers initial data validation; loading billing rates and validating tariffs; budgeting; annual consumption reporting; bespoke financial and consumption reports; periodic and exception reporting; and downloads of consumption data. The service is intended to support the buyer’s energy invoice and consumption data processes. The procurement is for services in the energy and related services category (CPV 71314000). The buyer is Anglian Water Services, a water utility based in Huntingdon. The procurement is arranged as a single lot, covering the service requirement as a whole.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. This is a two-stage process: bidders submit a request for information and a proposal, alongside a supplier risk event, before contract award. The stated submission and enquiry deadline was 9 October 2026 at 22:00 UTC; the participation deadline was amended from 2 October to 9 October. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2037. Its estimated value is £1.7 million excluding VAT and £2.04 million including VAT. Award is planned for December 2026 or January 2027. Evaluation gives qualitative criteria a 70% weighting and quantitative, price-related criteria a 30% weighting. Bids may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity suits suppliers able to validate energy invoices and tariffs and operate a data bureau supporting utility energy management. Relevant capabilities include loading and checking billing rates, budgeting, analysing consumption, producing annual, periodic, bespoke financial and consumption reports, identifying exceptions, and providing consumption data downloads. Suppliers should be able to handle both routine reporting and tailored analysis, and to support the buyer’s requirements across a long-term service arrangement. The evaluation places greater weight on qualitative assessment than on price, so bidders should be ready to demonstrate the strength of their service approach as well as competitive pricing. The process also includes a supplier risk assessment, so interested businesses should be prepared to provide information for that stage.
