Summary of the contracting process

Sandwell College is seeking the physical supply of mains and natural gas to all its sites, together with associated invoicing and query management services. This is a gas supply contract, with delivery across the college’s sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for the supply of the gas itself as well as the supplier’s ongoing administration of invoices and customer queries. Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as the college’s utility procurement adviser.

The college invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, using a dynamic market. Suppliers must be admitted to the relevant dynamic-market lot to receive and respond to requests for quotations. This is a single-lot procurement. The enquiry deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned contract period runs from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2030. The estimated gross contract value is £410,000. Evaluation assigns 70% to contract cost and 30% to technical criteria. The award decision was scheduled for 12 October 2026.

This opportunity suits gas suppliers able to deliver physical gas to multiple college sites and provide dependable invoicing and query-management services. Participation depends on admission to the relevant lot of the dynamic market, so suppliers need to meet that market’s admission requirements before they can compete for the quotation. The college identifies the contract as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller suppliers as well as larger providers with the necessary supply and service capability. Price carries more weight than technical criteria, but technical performance still forms a substantial part of the assessment; suppliers should be ready to demonstrate both competitive pricing and the quality of their delivery and account-management arrangements.
