Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust is procuring mains electricity for four half-hourly meters, supplying its operations in the East of England. The requirement covers an estimated total volume of 0.4 GWh per year. The supply includes consolidated billing and the ability to provide billing data in Excel format. Suppliers may offer green and brown pricing options. This is a goods supply requirement for electricity rather than installation, maintenance or other energy services. The buyer is Saffron Housing Trust, based in Long Stratton, Norfolk. The requirement is intended to provide the Trust with its electricity supply across the relevant metered sites, with associated billing and account management arrangements.

The procurement has reached tender: Saffron Housing Trust invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 24 September 2026 at 12:00. Enquiries and requests for the tender document were to be made before that deadline. The contract is for 12 months, from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Its estimated gross value is £143,572. The contract will be awarded primarily on price, with other considerations including billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services. The tender covers one lot. Offers are not submitted electronically, so suppliers must follow the stated submission arrangements.

This opportunity suits an electricity supplier authorised to serve half-hourly metered customers. Suppliers must be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant electricity supply licence. The successful provider will need to support four half-hourly meters and manage an estimated annual volume of 0.4 GWh, making operational capacity for metering, supply and account administration important. It must provide consolidated billing and be able to produce an Excel billing file. Suppliers able to offer both green and brown pricing can address the buyer’s stated pricing options. Competitive pricing is central to the evaluation, while reliable customer service, account management and useful added-value services can also strengthen an offer.
