Summary of the contracting process

Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured mains gas to supply its estate. This is a gas supply requirement for the Authority’s operational estate, rather than a procurement of installation works or energy-related services. The contracting process describes supply across the DWFRS estate; it does not identify individual delivery sites. The buying organisation is the fire and rescue authority serving Dorset and Wiltshire.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Total Energies Gas & Power Limited. The contract was signed on 15 September 2026 and is for gas supply from 2029 to 2033. Its value is £536,765.28. The Authority made a direct award through the Government Commercial Agency’s Supply of Energy 2 framework, Lot 2, without a prior competition; that framework lot was described as having one supplier. Price was the stated award criterion.

This award shows demand for estate-wide gas supply by Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority, with price as the stated basis for selection. A credible future competitor would need to supply gas across the Authority’s estate and be able to compete through the relevant Government Commercial Agency energy framework route. The requirement indicates a substantial organisational supply rather than a single-site purchase. The procurement sets out no additional technical, accreditation or capacity conditions, so the clear evidence of supplier fit is the ability to meet the estate-wide gas requirement and offer a competitive price.
