UK13 - Dynamic Market Intention Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby Diocesan Academy Trust established a dynamic market for the physical supply of electricity and mains gas to all of its sites across the United Kingdom. The requirement includes associated invoicing and query-management services, so relevant suppliers need to provide the energy supply as well as customer and billing administration. Electricity is covered under CPV 09310000 and 31682000, while mains gas is covered under CPV 09121200. The Trust is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited acting as its utility procurement adviser and managing the procurement. The opportunity is divided into two requirements: supply of electricity and supply of gas. It concerns energy commodities and related account-management services rather than installation, construction or energy-efficiency works.

The procurement has reached the award stage and the dynamic market is active. It was established under the Procurement Act 2023 using an open procedure and a dynamic-market procurement method, with electronic submission allowed. The market began on 21 September 2026 and has no stated end date. The electricity lot was awarded to British Gas Trading, Brook Green Supply, Conrad Energy Group, Marble Power, SSE Energy Supply, YÜ Energy Retail and Drax Energy Solutions. The gas lot was awarded to British Gas Trading, Brook Green Supply, Crown Gas and Power, Drax Energy Solutions, SSE Energy Supply and YÜ Energy Retail. The arrangement uses competitive selections among admitted suppliers, and suppliers can apply for admission throughout its duration. No contract value or award value is stated, and participation carries a zero win fee.

This procurement shows that the Trust buys both electricity and mains gas through a multi-supplier dynamic market, creating a route for capable energy retailers and licensed suppliers to compete for future competitive selections. Strong candidates would need to source and physically deliver electricity or gas across a distributed portfolio of education sites, manage public-sector accounts, issue accurate consolidated or site-level invoices, and handle billing queries reliably. The award mix includes large suppliers and an SME, indicating that the model can accommodate organisations of different sizes where they can demonstrate sufficient supply capacity, operational resilience and effective customer administration. Suppliers wishing to compete for the electricity requirement need power-market capability; gas suppliers need equivalent mains-gas procurement and delivery capability. Experience serving schools, academy trusts or other multi-site public-sector customers would help demonstrate suitability.
