Summary of the contracting process

Odyssey Collaborative Trust procured the physical supply of mains and natural gas to all of its sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement also covers associated invoicing and query-management services, so the supplier must support both the commodity supply and the administration of customer accounts. The buyer is Odyssey Collaborative Trust, with Zenergi Limited acting as the utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. The procurement is categorised as goods, focused on mains gas and natural gas. It was arranged as one requirement rather than separate service packages, and applies to the Trust’s sites nationally. This is relevant to gas retailers, energy suppliers and specialist public-sector utility providers able to manage multi-site supply, billing and customer queries.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Yu Enery Retail Limited on 9 September 2026. The award covers one lot, with a gross awarded value of £376,859 and a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The earlier estimated gross value was £238,000. It used an open competitive flexible procedure, with an accelerated timetable for pre-selected utilities or non-central-government tenderers. Bids had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 12:00, enquiries closed on 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and the award period ended on 8 September 2026 at 23:59. Three bids were received. Evaluation weighted cost at 70% and technical quality at 30%.

This procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for nationwide gas supply combined with reliable account administration. A credible competitor would need the capability to supply mains and natural gas across multiple customer sites, manage consumption and billing accurately, and provide responsive handling of invoice queries. Suppliers should also be able to evidence a sound technical service model, because technical quality formed a material part of the evaluation alongside price. The successful supplier was a large energy retailer, indicating that operational scale and established utility infrastructure can support this requirement, although the lot was identified as suitable for SMEs. Access to the relevant dynamic market was a condition of participation, so future competitors would need to secure and maintain admission to that market as well as demonstrate competitive pricing and service delivery.
