Summary of the contracting process

Westward Housing Group Limited is procuring mains electricity for 287 non-half-hourly electricity meters. The requirement covers the supply of electricity to the group’s housing and other operational properties, with an estimated total consumption of 1.6 GWh per year. It is classified as a goods requirement for electricity supply rather than installation, maintenance or construction work. The contract is intended to provide the group’s electricity supply across its estate in England. Suppliers should be able to manage a portfolio of multiple electricity meters and provide the associated billing and account-management services. Brown and/or green electricity pricing options will be considered, so the requirement may suit suppliers offering standard, renewable or mixed supply products.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited suppliers to submit expressions of interest through a selective competitive flexible procedure. The process uses accelerated state-of-urgency timescales because of rapidly changing energy markets. Expressions of interest had to be emailed by 28 September 2026 at 12:00 noon; selected suppliers were then expected to receive at least 10 days to return contract offers for analysis and negotiation. The award decision was due by 9 October 2026 at 23:59. The single contract is for 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, with contracts considered for 12 months. Its estimated gross value is £491,921. Price is the main award basis, with billing, customer service, account management and added-value services also considered.

This opportunity suits electricity suppliers that are registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant electricity supply licence. Suppliers must be able to pass credit-check approval for the contracting party and support payment by direct debit on 28-day terms. The successful supplier will need to provide consolidated billing for the 287-meter portfolio and an Excel billing file, so established metering, invoicing and account-management systems are important. The buyer will consider both brown and green pricing options, creating scope for suppliers with renewable electricity products as well as conventional supply. Commercial competitiveness is central: preference is given to the lowest fixed rates and standing charges for the contract period, while service quality and added value can also influence the decision.
