Summary of the contracting process

The Mill Academy is procuring the physical supply of energy to all its sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement is divided into two lots: electricity supply and gas supply. Each lot also includes associated invoicing and query-management services, so suppliers will need to support both energy provision and the related customer and account administration. The procurement is for goods, covering electricity supplies and mains or natural gas. The Academy is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited acting as its utility procurement adviser and managing the procurement process. Businesses specialising in electricity supply, gas supply, or both may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can serve public-sector sites across the UK and provide reliable billing and query-handling arrangements alongside physical energy delivery.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure using a dynamic market under the Procurement Act 2023. Suppliers submit electronically through the stated eSourcing portal. The arrangement is intended to start on 14 September 2026 at 23:59:59. It is structured as two lots, for electricity and gas, and the buyer may run competitive selection processes among suppliers admitted to the dynamic market. The stated mechanism allows suppliers to apply for admission during its duration, with subsequent opportunities to compete for the Authority’s requirements. The procurement covers all Authority sites, and the lots are separately identified for energy supply with associated invoicing and query management. Offers may be relevant to either individual lot or both.

This opportunity suits established electricity and gas suppliers with the operational capability to deliver physical energy to public-sector sites throughout the UK. Suppliers should be able to provide the relevant energy commodity, maintain dependable supply arrangements, issue accurate invoices and manage customer queries for the Authority’s sites. The two-lot structure allows a business focused on electricity or gas to pursue its specialist area, while broader energy providers can seek admission for both. The dynamic market model creates a route for suppliers to qualify for later competitive selections rather than responding only to a single fixed purchase. It is therefore most relevant to businesses with suitable supply infrastructure, public-sector account-management capability and capacity to participate in competitive energy purchasing exercises.
