UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Education Training Collective is seeking gas supply services for its multi-site portfolio across the Tees Valley. The requirement covers the sites listed in the request for quotation and is being managed by SMS Energy Services, acting as energy broker. This is a utility-sector gas supply service rather than a request for gas infrastructure works. Suppliers should be able to serve multiple sites in the Tees Valley and provide the associated supply and account services. The procurement is for the Education Training Collective, a further education organisation based in Thornaby. The classified service is gas distribution and related services (CPV 65200000).

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The tender submission deadline was 27 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC; offers were to be emailed to SMS Energy Services. The contract is due to run from 1 February 2027 to 31 March 2028. The estimated gross value is £343,000. There is one lot covering the gas supply requirement. Evaluation is weighted across cost (40%), billing, metering and service (19%), social value and sustainability (21%), fixed product (10%) and renewable gas (10%).

This opportunity is suited to gas suppliers able to deliver a reliable service across a multi-site education portfolio in the Tees Valley. Bidders should be capable of supporting billing and metering across the sites and offering a fixed-product option. The evaluation gives substantial weight to service performance alongside cost, so suppliers with effective account management and operational support should be well placed. Renewable gas provision and evidence of social value and sustainability are also directly relevant to the competition. The single-lot scope calls for a supplier able to cover the portfolio as a whole, rather than compete for separate site packages. Suppliers with experience serving multiple public-sector or education sites may find the operating model familiar.
