Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust sought a supplier to provide mains electricity to four half-hourly meters. The requirement covers an estimated 0.4 GWh of electricity per year, with consolidated billing and an Excel billing file. Suppliers could offer green or brown electricity pricing. Delivery is to the Trust’s sites in the East of England. This is an electricity supply contract, rather than a works or installation project.

The Trust invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The procurement reached tender, but the process was subsequently cancelled; the cancellation notice gives no reason. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 24 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period was 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with the contract considered for 12 months. The estimated gross value was £143,572. Award was to be based primarily on price, with billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services also potentially considered. Electronic submission was not permitted; requests for the tender document and enquiries were to be made by email before the deadline.

This opportunity suited electricity suppliers registered with Ofgem and holding the relevant supply licence. Suppliers needed to be able to serve four half-hourly meters and support consolidated billing and Excel-format billing data. The buyer welcomed both green and brown pricing, offering scope for suppliers with either renewable or conventional electricity products. Competitive offers would need to combine price with reliable billing, customer service and account management; added-value services could also contribute to the assessment. The estimated annual volume indicates a supply requirement for a housing trust, rather than a large national energy framework. The process has been cancelled, so suppliers should treat this opportunity as concluded.
