Summary of the contracting process

Odyssey Collaborative Trust is procuring the physical supply of mains and natural gas to all of its sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement also includes associated invoicing and query management services, so it suits energy suppliers able to provide both the commodity and supporting account administration. The procurement is for goods, with Zenergi Limited acting as the procuring entity and utility procurement adviser for the Trust. Delivery covers the Authority’s sites rather than a single named premises, making the requirement relevant to suppliers with a suitable supply network and the operational capability to manage multiple public-sector accounts. The contract concerns gas supply services and related billing and customer-query handling, rather than gas infrastructure works, installation or maintenance.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. Membership of the relevant dynamic market is required; requests for quotations are issued to suppliers admitted to the relevant lot and evaluated against the tender information. Enquiries had to be submitted by 7 September 2026 at 12:00 BST, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award decision was due by 8 September 2026 at 23:59 BST. One lot covers the requirement, with a gross estimated value of £238,000. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Evaluation is based on cost at 70% and technical quality at 30%. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity suits gas suppliers already admitted to, or able to meet the requirements for, the relevant dynamic market. Competitors need the capability to arrange physical mains and natural gas supply across multiple Authority sites, manage the associated consumption and account information, and provide reliable invoicing and query management. The technical quality weighting means suppliers should be able to explain their service delivery, customer support and operational controls, alongside offering competitive pricing. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may be relevant to specialist energy suppliers and utility service providers as well as larger organisations. Businesses with established public-sector account management, billing systems and processes for handling supply queries are particularly well placed to compete.
