Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust sought a supplier for mains electricity to serve 169 non-half-hourly meters. The stated estimated consumption was 0.9 GWh per year. The supply was intended for the Trust’s properties in the United Kingdom. This is an electricity supply requirement, rather than a contract for energy infrastructure works or meter installation.

The buyer invited expressions of interest through a selective competitive flexible procedure, then cancelled the procurement. Expressions of interest were due by 12:00 on 21 September 2026, and the stated award period ended on 5 October 2026. The planned contract ran from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Its estimated value was £255,688 including VAT. Award was to be based primarily on price, with preference for the lowest fixed rates and standing charges; billing, customer service, account management and added-value services could also be considered. The stated contract requirements included 28-day direct debit and consolidated billing.

The requirement suited electricity suppliers able to serve a housing provider’s portfolio of 169 non-half-hourly meters and manage an estimated annual consumption of 0.9 GWh. Suppliers had to be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant electricity supply licence. They also needed to obtain credit approval for the contracting party and provide consolidated billing, an Excel billing file and 28-day direct debit. Both brown and green pricing options were to be considered. Price competitiveness, including fixed energy rates and standing charges, was central to the evaluation, with billing capability, customer service, account management and added-value services also potentially relevant. The procurement was cancelled, so it did not proceed to award.
