Summary of the contracting process

Together Housing Association Limited bought an electricity supply service for its housing association operations. The requirement covers the supply of electricity, classified under public utilities, with delivery addresses spanning nine English regions: North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. This is a single-lot service contract, rather than a works project or purchase of equipment. Suppliers in the electricity market serving a geographically broad portfolio of locations are the closest fit. The buyer is based in Halifax, but the supply requirement extends across England rather than being confined to the buyer’s home town or region.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to URBANCHAIN LTD; the contract is active and was signed on 9 October 2026. The contract runs from 9 October 2026 to 28 July 2027. Its value is £1.5 million excluding VAT and £1.8 million including VAT. The buyer used a selective process, making an award under a framework agreement below the applicable threshold; the call-off was competitive. The requirement was arranged as one lot. The award record identifies URBANCHAIN LTD as the supplier. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the process data.

For electricity suppliers, this award demonstrates Together Housing Association’s demand for supply across a broad English footprint, handled through a competitive framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. A credible future competitor would need the ability to supply electricity across multiple regions and manage delivery for a housing association’s geographically distributed requirements. URBANCHAIN LTD, recorded as an SME, won the contract, showing that the work was awarded to a smaller supplier. The short contract period indicates a defined supply requirement rather than a long-term infrastructure project. Businesses positioned for similar housing association supply work should assess whether they can meet this buyer’s multi-region supply needs and compete through the relevant framework route.
