UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby Diocesan Academy Trust is buying the physical supply of electricity to all of its sites, together with associated invoicing and query management services. This is a supply contract for electricity and electricity supplies, delivered across the Trust’s sites in the United Kingdom. The Trust is the buying organisation, with Zenergi Limited managing the procurement as its utility procurement adviser. The requirement is suited to electricity suppliers able to provide the energy itself and handle the related billing and customer-service work. Suppliers should note that the procurement is tied to a dynamic market and covers the Trust’s full set of sites rather than a single delivery address.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, using a dynamic market and an accelerated timetable for pre-selected utilities suppliers. Membership of the relevant dynamic market is required, and requests for quotations are issued to admitted suppliers. Enquiries had to be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 1 October 2026 at 12:40. The award decision was due by 1 October 2026 at 23:59. The contract runs from 2 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its gross estimated value is £304,200. Evaluation is based on contract cost at 70% and technical quality at 30%. Electronic submission in English is allowed.

This opportunity suits electricity suppliers that are admitted to, or can meet the requirements for, the relevant dynamic market. The successful supplier will need to provide physical electricity across multiple sites and support the Trust throughout the contract with accurate invoicing, invoice-related query management and responsive service administration. The requirement is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is not limited to the largest energy companies. Businesses with established utility supply operations, the capacity to serve a portfolio of sites in the UK, and systems for managing billing and customer queries are well placed to compete. The evaluation gives greater weight to price than technical quality, while still requiring a credible technical service.
