UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Matrix Academy Trust is procuring the physical supply of mains gas to all of its sites across the United Kingdom, together with associated invoicing and query management services. The requirement is for goods, supported by administrative services around billing and handling supplier or customer queries. The procurement will establish a Dynamic Market under the Procurement Act 2023, allowing the Authority to run competitive selection processes among suppliers admitted to the market. Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as the utility procurement adviser for Matrix Academy Trust. The opportunity is therefore relevant to gas suppliers able to serve multiple Authority sites and provide reliable billing administration and query-handling alongside the underlying gas supply.

The process reached tender: Matrix Academy Trust invited offers through an accelerated competitive flexible procedure to establish a Dynamic Market. The enquiry deadline was 27 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The estimated gross value is £959,190. Evaluation is weighted 70% to price and 30% to technical quality. There is one lot, and electronic submission is allowed in English. The award decision period was scheduled to end on 29 September 2026 at 23:59. The procurement is above the applicable threshold and uses the Procurement Act 2023 as its legal basis.

This opportunity suits established gas suppliers with the operational capability to provide physical mains gas across a portfolio of Authority sites, supported by dependable invoicing and query management. Suppliers should be able to manage supply arrangements at multiple locations, maintain accurate billing processes and respond effectively to service or account queries. The Dynamic Market structure is also relevant to businesses seeking access to future competitive selections conducted by Matrix Academy Trust after admission. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so specialist or growing suppliers may be well placed to compete if they can demonstrate the required technical service capability and commercial capacity. Price is the largest evaluation factor, while technical quality remains significant.
