UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mill Academy is establishing a Dynamic Market for the physical supply of electricity and mains gas to all its sites, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. This is a utilities supply opportunity, with electricity supplies also included within the requirement. Delivery is across the United Kingdom, serving the Academy’s sites. The Mill Academy is the buyer, with Zenergi Limited acting as its utility procurement adviser and procuring entity. The opportunity is structured as a single lot covering the energy supplies and related administrative services. It is therefore relevant to energy suppliers able to provide both electricity and gas, manage customer billing and handle queries for a public-sector education customer. Small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable for this requirement.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an accelerated competitive flexible procedure using a Dynamic Market. Suppliers must be admitted to the relevant Dynamic Market lot before receiving Requests for Quotations. Enquiries were due by 27 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due electronically by 29 September 2026 at 12:00, with English as the submission language. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its estimated gross value is £516,274. The buyer planned to complete evaluation by 29 September 2026 at 23:59. Offers are assessed on price, weighted at 70%, and technical quality, weighted at 30%. The requirement is above the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits established electricity and gas suppliers that can deliver physical energy supplies across the buyer’s United Kingdom sites and support the operational administration that follows. Suppliers need the capability to provide accurate, reliable invoicing and responsive query management alongside commodity supply. Membership of the relevant Dynamic Market is a fundamental eligibility condition, because Requests for Quotations are issued only to suppliers admitted to the applicable lot. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist or growing energy businesses may be able to compete where they meet the Dynamic Market requirements. Strong technical delivery arrangements matter, but commercial competitiveness is especially important because price carries the larger evaluation weighting. Experience serving multiple public-sector sites would support a credible bid.
