Summary of the contracting process

Derby Diocesan Academy Trust is buying the physical supply of mains and natural gas to all of its sites, together with associated invoicing and query management services. The requirement is for gas supply rather than installation, maintenance or construction work. Delivery is across the Trust’s sites in the United Kingdom. Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as the Trust’s utility procurement adviser. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide a reliable gas supply for multiple public-sector premises and handle the related billing and customer queries. The opportunity is classified as goods and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a single gas-supply requirement covering the Trust’s authority sites.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open, accelerated competitive flexible procedure. The contract will be awarded by reference to suppliers’ membership of the relevant dynamic market, with requests for quotations issued to admitted suppliers. Enquiries were due by 30 September 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 1 October 2026 at 12:40. The award decision was scheduled for 1 October 2026 by 23:59. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The estimated gross value is £127,000. Evaluation gives 70% to contract cost and 30% to technical criteria. Electronic submission is allowed and tenders must be submitted in English.

This opportunity suits gas suppliers able to serve multiple public-sector sites and manage the full customer-service process alongside physical energy supply. Relevant capability includes arranging and maintaining mains or natural gas supply, producing accurate invoices, and responding efficiently to billing or service queries. Suppliers must be admitted to the relevant dynamic market before receiving a request for quotation, so businesses should have the required dynamic-market membership and be ready to work within its tender information and call-off arrangements. The evaluation balances commercial competitiveness with technical quality, favouring suppliers that can demonstrate both a credible gas-supply service and effective operational support. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to established specialist energy suppliers as well as larger providers.
