Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is buying the supply of gas usage data to support the design and delivery of targeted support for domestic gas consumers and other departmental policy schemes. The requirement covers gas usage data for all domestic properties. Xoserve’s role as the central data service provider for Great Britain’s gas market means it receives information from gas shippers and suppliers and provides a single, standardised source of gas market data. The service is for the Department’s policy work; delivery is described as covering the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Xoserve Limited. This was a direct award, justified on the basis that Xoserve is Great Britain’s central data service provider and the authoritative source for gas market data. The award value is £260,000 excluding VAT (£312,000 including VAT). The initial contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2028, with provision for a time-only extension by agreement if needed to deliver the intended services; the maximum extent is 14 October 2030. The award was dated 28 September 2026. The contract is a single lot. The Department stated that social value would not apply, citing the nature, proportionality and relevance of the services.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for the Department, this award indicates demand for access to comprehensive domestic gas usage data for policy design and delivery. A credible provider would need the ability to obtain data directly from gas-market participants, consolidate it into a dependable and standardised source, and supply it in a form suitable for government analysis and scheme development. The buyer selected the organisation already performing the central data-service role in Great Britain’s gas market, so established access to industry data and the ability to provide authoritative coverage were central commercial strengths. The requirement is a focused data-supply service supporting national energy policy, rather than general data consultancy or consumer support.
