Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Bromley procured a mains gas supply for the council, with delivery associated with the council’s operations in Bromley. The requirement was for gas supplied through the Countess of Chester Hospital’s Provision of Natural Gas Framework (FO5), using its broker. This is a goods opportunity rather than a works or professional services contract. The relevant product classification is mains gas (CPV 09121200). The buyer is a local authority based at Bromley Civic Centre. The framework route was identified as a single-supplier arrangement, so the procurement concerned the purchase of the gas supply through that established route rather than a standalone open-market competition.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the single-supplier natural gas framework. The stated award basis was price, and one bid was recorded. SEFE Energy received the active award. The associated contract is active, valued at £522,000, and was signed on 1 October 2025. The tender’s sole lot is recorded as cancelled, while the related award remains active. The procurement rationale states that the framework was used because it was single-supplier and outside the relevant directive’s scope. No contract end date or award date is provided. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Bromley.

This procurement demonstrates recurring public-sector demand for a substantial mains gas supply from a local authority, delivered through a recognised public-sector framework rather than an open competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to supply mains gas at council scale, operate through the relevant framework or an equivalent compliant purchasing route, and offer a strong price-led proposition. The buyer’s use of a single-supplier framework means framework access and route-to-market eligibility are commercially important, alongside the ability to manage public-sector supply, billing and contract administration. The selected supplier is a large energy company, indicating that established supply infrastructure and the capacity to support an authority-wide requirement are relevant strengths.
