Summary of the contracting process

Westward Housing Group Limited is procuring mains gas for its housing operations, covering 36 gas meters. This is a goods supply requirement for metered natural gas, with an expected annual consumption profile and associated account and billing services. Delivery is across South West England, serving the buyer’s metered premises. The requirement also allows suppliers to offer brown and/or green pricing options, so it may suit energy companies able to provide conventional supply alongside renewable or lower-carbon tariff choices. Suppliers are expected to support consolidated billing and provide billing data in an Excel file, making this relevant to licensed gas suppliers with established commercial account-management and invoicing systems.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The contract is a single lot, with an estimated gross value of £100,199 including applicable taxes. It is intended to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. Bids were due by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. Requests for the tender document and enquiries were to be sent to the procurement contact address before that deadline. Submissions were not permitted electronically. The contract will be awarded primarily on price, with billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services also potentially considered. Payment arrangements include 28-day direct debit.

This opportunity suits an Ofgem-registered gas supplier that holds the relevant gas supply licence and can manage a multi-meter housing-sector account. Competitive suppliers will need to demonstrate reliable mains-gas supply, accurate consolidated billing and the ability to produce an Excel billing file. The requirement also favours providers with effective customer service and account-management teams, since these are among the considerations that may affect the award alongside price. Suppliers able to offer both brown and green pricing options may be well placed, particularly where they can explain the added value of those options. Operational capability should include coordinating billing and service across 36 separate meters and maintaining consistent support for the buyer’s housing operations.
