Summary of the contracting process

South Cambridgeshire District Council is seeking a supplier for electricity to South Cambs Hall and a number of smaller sites. This is a goods requirement for the council’s electricity supply arrangements, with delivery in South Cambridgeshire, England. The scope is described as electricity supply and is classified under CPV 09310000. The requirement is presented as a single package covering the council hall and small sites rather than separate supply categories. Businesses should therefore be able to provide electricity across multiple public-sector premises and manage the associated supply arrangements for a district council. The council is based at Cambourne Business Park in Cambourne, and the buying organisation is South Cambridgeshire District Council.

The procurement has reached tender: South Cambridgeshire District Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at 14:30. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The estimated value is £120,000 excluding VAT, or £144,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on 100% price, subject to compliance with the requirement for 100% renewable electricity and 21-day BACS payment terms. The tender requires electronic submission to be not allowed, with submissions directed through the stated procurement contact route. Usage data is provided to support bid preparation.

This opportunity suits established electricity suppliers able to serve a public-sector customer across a main council hall and smaller sites. The central commercial requirement is the provision of electricity sourced entirely from renewable generation, so suppliers must be able to demonstrate and maintain compliance with that condition. Bidders also need to accommodate payment on 21-day BACS terms and price the supply competitively, since price is the sole weighted award factor once compliance requirements are met. The single-lot structure makes this relevant to suppliers that can cover the complete requirement rather than only individual premises. Usage data is available to help suppliers assess demand and develop their pricing.
