Summary of the contracting process

Saffron Housing Trust is seeking a supplier for mains gas to serve its 18 gas meters. The requirement is for an estimated annual volume of 3.2 GWh, with consolidated billing and an Excel billing file. Green and brown pricing are both welcome. This is a gas supply contract, rather than a works or installation requirement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Long Stratton, Norfolk.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition below the applicable threshold. The tender deadline set was 23 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, and the estimated gross value is £136,557. The procurement is one lot. Offers are assessed primarily on price; billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered. Suppliers must be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant gas supply licence. Requests for the tender document and enquiries were to be sent by email to the tendering contact before the deadline. Electronic submission of bids was not permitted.

This opportunity suits an Ofgem-registered gas supplier with the relevant supply licence and the capability to supply mains gas across 18 meters. Suppliers need to support consolidated billing and provide billing data in Excel format. The buyer welcomes both green and brown pricing, so suppliers able to offer either or both may be relevant. Price is the main basis for the award, making competitive gas procurement and pricing central to a strong offer. Billing arrangements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also influence the decision, so suppliers with reliable multi-meter account administration and responsive customer support are well placed to compete. The annual volume indicates a substantial supply requirement, while the contract covers a single one-year period.»}iyanas}velopers..
