Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust is seeking a supplier to provide mains electricity for 169 non-half-hourly meters. The requirement is for electricity supply to the Trust’s housing operations, with an estimated total consumption of 0.9 GWh per year. The procurement is for electricity, rather than installation or maintenance of energy infrastructure. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. Suppliers should be able to serve a multi-meter customer and support the associated billing and account management needs. The buyer is a housing trust, and the supply requirement covers its portfolio of metered electricity connections. The procurement considers fixed-rate electricity supply, with brown and/or green pricing options included for consideration.

The buyer invited expressions of interest through a selective competitive flexible procedure, followed by selection of suppliers and a request for contract offers for analysis and negotiation. The expression-of-interest deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The stated award decision period ends on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated contract value is £255,688 including VAT. There is one lot. Award is primarily based on price, with preference for the lowest fixed charges across rates and standing charges; billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered. Expressions of interest are to be submitted by email; bids are not accepted electronically.

This requirement suits electricity suppliers able to serve a housing trust across 169 non-half-hourly meters and provide consolidated billing. Suppliers must be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant electricity supply licence. They must be able to obtain credit-check approval for the contracting party, offer 28-day direct debit terms and provide billing data in an Excel file. Both brown and green pricing options are considered, making the opportunity relevant to suppliers able to offer either or both. Suppliers should also be able to support the buyer’s billing requirements, customer service and account management needs. Serious misrepresentation in information supplied may make a supplier ineligible to continue. The contract is a single portfolio supply requirement, rather than separate meter-level awards.
