Summary of the contracting process

Education Learning Trust is buying the physical supply of electricity to all its sites, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. This is a goods requirement for electricity supply rather than an installation or construction project. Delivery covers the Authority’s sites in the United Kingdom. The procurement is managed for the Trust by Zenergi Limited, acting as its utility procurement adviser. It is a single requirement covering the Trust’s electricity needs and the related administration of bills and supplier queries. Businesses should therefore have the ability to provide electricity across multiple public-sector sites and support the associated customer and billing service.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure using an open procurement method. The process is accelerated for pre-selected tenderers in the utilities context, and suppliers must be admitted to the relevant lot of the dynamic market before receiving a request for quotation. Enquiries had to be submitted by 23 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers had to be submitted electronically by 24 September 2026 at 12:00, with the award decision due by 24 September 2026 at 23:59. The contract is valued at £745,000 gross and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Evaluation is 70% contract cost and 30% technical criteria.

This opportunity suits electricity suppliers already admitted to the relevant dynamic market, or businesses able to meet its admission requirements before competing. The successful supplier will need to arrange physical electricity supply for all Education Learning Trust sites and provide dependable invoicing and query-management services throughout the contract. It is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so the requirement is not limited to the largest energy companies. Strong candidates are likely to combine electricity purchasing and delivery capability with robust billing operations, responsive account management and the capacity to serve multiple public-sector locations. Technical quality contributes 30% of the evaluation, alongside price.
