Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust sought a supplier for mains gas to serve 18 gas meters. The requirement was for an estimated annual volume of 3.2 GWh, with consolidated billing and an Excel billing file. Green and brown pricing were both welcome. Delivery was in the UK. This is a gas supply contract for a housing trust, rather than a works or installation project; suppliers would need to provide the gas and meet the specified billing arrangements.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The process reached tender, but was subsequently cancelled on 29 September 2026; no cancellation reason is stated. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at 12:00. The single lot had an estimated gross value of £136,557. The contract period was 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with the procurement considering contracts for 12 months. The stated payment term was 28 days by direct debit. Award was to be based primarily on price, with billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services also potentially considered.

This opportunity suited licensed gas suppliers able to serve multiple meters and manage an estimated annual supply of 3.2 GWh. Suppliers were required to be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant gas supply licence. Operational capability mattered alongside price: the buyer required consolidated billing and the ability to provide billing data in an Excel file, with a 28-day direct-debit arrangement. Strong customer service, account management and useful added-value services could support a competitive offer. Green and brown pricing were both welcome, so suppliers able to offer either or both pricing approaches could respond. The procurement has been cancelled, so it is no longer a route to contract.
