Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust is buying mains electricity for four half-hourly meters. The requirement is for the Trust’s electricity supply, with an estimated annual volume of 0.4 GWh. Suppliers may offer green or brown pricing. The buyer is Saffron Housing Trust, based in Long Stratton. Delivery is in the UK; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location. The supply also needs to support consolidated billing and provision of an Excel billing file. This is an electricity supply contract, rather than a contract for installation or maintenance of electrical infrastructure.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition under a below-threshold procedure. The deadline for offers was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 (UK time). The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated gross value is £143,572. The procurement is structured as one lot, covering all four meters. The tender set Ofgem registration and the relevant electricity supply licence as requirements. Award is based primarily on price; billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered. Electronic submission was not allowed: suppliers were directed to request the procurement document and submit through the stated contact arrangements.

This opportunity suits licensed electricity suppliers registered with Ofgem, including providers able to offer either green or brown pricing. Suppliers need to be able to supply electricity across four half-hourly meters and handle consolidated billing, including producing an Excel billing file. The buyer’s stated secondary considerations favour suppliers with reliable billing processes, responsive customer service and capable account management, as well as relevant added-value services. The requirement is a defined, single-year supply for a modest portfolio of meters, so it is most relevant to suppliers able to serve a small multi-meter customer and manage its billing needs. No specialist installation or infrastructure delivery is described.
