UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Finance is seeking suppliers for metered electricity that is 100% renewable, under a collaborative arrangement for participating public bodies. This is a supply contract for electricity (CPV 09310000), rather than for energy infrastructure or installation work. Delivery is in Northern Ireland; the specification schedule sets out the detailed requirements and the participating bodies. The arrangement is intended to provide green electricity to multiple public-sector organisations, so suppliers should consider whether their supply capability and service model can cover the participating bodies’ requirements. Construction and Procurement Delivery’s Supplies and Services Division is managing the procurement on behalf of the Department of Finance.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure. The procurement is divided into one lot. The enquiry deadline was 26 October 2026 at 15:00 UTC, and the tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 15:00 UTC. The stated deadline for the award decision was 16 November 2026. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, a term of 36 months. The estimated value is £400 million excluding VAT (£480 million including VAT); the buyer says this reflects potential scale across many public-sector organisations and does not guarantee a level of business. Evaluation weights contract and account management quality at 10% and total price at 90%. Electronic tenders were to be submitted through eTendersNI; English is the submission language.

This opportunity is suited to electricity suppliers able to provide metered electricity from 100% renewable sources to participating public bodies in Northern Ireland. The selection requirements include a company licence and Guarantees of Origin, so suppliers should be prepared to evidence both. The evaluation also gives weight to contract and account management, making the ability to manage service delivery and account relationships relevant alongside competitive pricing. The collaborative arrangement spans multiple public-sector organisations, which may suit suppliers with the operational capacity to serve a broad customer base. The estimated scale is substantial, but the buyer expressly provides no guarantee of business volume; suppliers should therefore assess the opportunity against their capacity without treating the estimated contract value as committed revenue.
