Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured mains gas to supply its estate. This is a gas supply contract, rather than work to install or maintain gas infrastructure. The requirement covers the Authority’s estate across Dorset and Wiltshire. The Authority is the buyer, and the Government Commercial Agency framework provided the purchasing route. The selected supplier is TotalEnergies Gas & Power Limited. The requirement is relevant to gas suppliers able to supply an organisation’s estate across this geographic area. It concerns the supply of gas to the fire and rescue authority’s buildings and operations; the procurement description does not identify particular sites, consumption volumes or additional services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TotalEnergies Gas & Power Limited. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and is valued at £262,697. It covers gas supply from 2027 to 2029. The Authority used a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Supply of Energy 2 framework, under its gas-supply lot, which was restricted to one supplier. The procedure was conducted without a prior call for competition. Price was the stated award criterion, and one bid was recorded. The tender lists a lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are active; the published outcome therefore identifies a selected supplier and an active contract.

For a supplier considering similar work for Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority in future, this award demonstrates demand for estate-wide mains gas supply through a public-sector energy framework. The chosen route was a direct award from a one-supplier framework lot, rather than an open competition, and price was the recorded evaluation basis. A credible competitor would need to supply gas across the Authority’s estate and be eligible to provide it through the relevant framework route. The award went to TotalEnergies Gas & Power Limited, a large supplier, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by an established energy company. Suppliers should be able to compete on price and support supply across the Authority’s Dorset and Wiltshire footprint when a comparable requirement returns to market.
