Summary of the contracting process

King Edmund School procured the physical supply of electricity to all of its sites, together with related invoicing and query-management services. The requirement is for electricity supply rather than installation or construction work. King Edmund School is the buyer, with utility procurement advisor Zenergi Limited managing the process. Delivery is to the Authority’s sites in the United Kingdom; individual site locations are not identified. The procurement was arranged as one requirement, covering electricity and the associated account administration. This may be relevant to electricity suppliers able to serve a school estate and handle billing and customer queries as part of the supply.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to British Gas Trading Limited on 28 September 2026. The award value is £212,000 gross. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. It was conducted through an open competitive flexible procedure linked to a dynamic market: suppliers had to be admitted to the relevant market lot to receive a request for quotation. Evaluation weighted contract cost at 70% and technical quality at 30%. Six bids were recorded, with five reaching the final stage, including one SME. The original estimated value was £255,000 gross. The contract award milestone was scheduled for 28 September 2026.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future electricity requirements, the award demonstrates demand for physical supply across a school’s sites, backed by reliable invoicing and query management. A credible competitor would need the ability to supply electricity across the relevant estate and provide responsive billing administration and customer support, as well as meet the technical requirements used in evaluation. Price was the largest evaluation component, but technical quality also carried substantial weight, so competitive rates alone may not be sufficient. The route relied on membership of a dynamic market and admission to the relevant lot; suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to meet those access conditions. The process attracted bids from several suppliers, including an SME at final stage, indicating that the requirement was not confined to large businesses.
