UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Compass Partnership of Schools is buying the physical supply of mains and natural gas to its sites, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. The requirement is classified as goods, but includes ongoing account and query handling alongside the energy supply. The buyer is The Compass Partnership of Schools; Zenergi Limited is managing the procurement as its utility procurement adviser. Delivery is to the Authority’s sites in the United Kingdom. The requirement is presented as one lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide gas to multiple sites and support the related billing and customer-query workload.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with quotations requested from suppliers admitted to the relevant lot of a dynamic market. Membership of that dynamic market is a requirement. The enquiry deadline was 15 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The stated contract period runs from 17 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The estimated gross value is £320,000. Evaluation weights contract cost at 70% and technical criteria at 30%. The buyer set an award decision deadline of 16 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. Offers may be submitted electronically in English.

This opportunity is suited to gas suppliers able to arrange physical supply across the buyer’s sites and handle invoicing and customer queries as part of the service. Suppliers must already be admitted to the relevant lot of the dynamic market to be invited to submit a quotation, so market admission is a practical prerequisite. The single-lot requirement is expressly considered suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller providers as well as larger suppliers with the operational capacity to serve multiple sites. Competing businesses should be prepared to demonstrate technical quality as well as competitive pricing: technical criteria account for nearly a third of the evaluation, while cost carries the greater weighting. The work requires coordinated supply and account support over a multi-year term.
