Summary of the contracting process

Matrix Academy Trust established a dynamic market for the physical supply of mains gas to all of its sites, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. This is a goods requirement in the utilities sector, covering gas supply and the administrative services needed to bill usage and handle related customer queries. Delivery is required across the Authority’s sites in the United Kingdom. Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as the utility procurement adviser, while Matrix Academy Trust is the buying organisation. The arrangement uses a single requirement covering mains gas rather than separate lots for different services. It is intended to support the Trust’s gas purchasing through a supplier market that can admit additional suppliers during its duration and run competitive selections among admitted suppliers.

The procurement has reached the award stage: the dynamic market was established on 18 September 2026, with a modification recorded on 21 September 2026. Six suppliers were awarded places: Brook Green Supply Limited, Shell Energy UK Limited, Crown Gas and Power Limited, SEFE Energy Limited, Yü Energy Retail Limited, and SSE Energy Supply Limited. The award is active and the dynamic market is also active, with its period starting on 18 September 2026. It was run as an open procedure using a dynamic market under the utilities regime. There is one active lot. Electronic submission was allowed, and participation carried no win fee. The arrangement concerns future competitive selections among admitted suppliers, rather than a single supplier award for the whole requirement.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a multi-site academy trust for physical mains-gas supply supported by dependable invoicing and query-management operations. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements will need the capability to source and deliver gas across UK sites, manage customer accounts and billing accurately, and respond effectively to usage, invoice and service queries. The awarded supplier group indicates that credible competitors include large energy retailers and specialist commercial gas suppliers with the operational scale to serve public-sector estates. Businesses should also be able to operate through an electronic procurement process and compete in later selections within a dynamic market. Relevant preparation includes evidence of reliable supply arrangements, robust billing and customer-service systems, and the capacity to manage multiple sites under public-sector account controls.
