UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Quantum Multi Academy Trust is buying the physical supply of mains gas to all of its sites, together with associated invoicing and query-management services. The Trust is the buyer, and the requirement covers its sites in the United Kingdom. Suppliers need to provide gas as well as manage the supporting account and billing queries; this is a combined supply and service requirement rather than gas supply alone.

The Trust invited offers through an accelerated open procedure, with urgency given as the reason for acceleration. The procurement has reached the tender stage. It is a single lot, and small and medium-sized enterprises are considered suitable to bid. The buyer set 2 November 2026 at 12:00 for enquiries and 4 November 2026 at 12:00 for bids. The planned contract period is 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2030. The estimated value is £403,298 including VAT. Bids are evaluated on price, weighted at 70%, and technical quality, weighted at 30%.

This opportunity may suit gas suppliers able to serve multiple sites across the Trust’s UK-wide estate and provide flexible supply arrangements alongside reliable invoicing and query management. The Trust explicitly considers the requirement suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller suppliers with the operational capacity to coordinate supply and account services across more than one site. Competition is based predominantly on price, with technical quality also assessed, so bidders will need a competitive commercial offer as well as a credible approach to delivering the supply and associated services. The requirement combines energy supply with ongoing customer and billing support, and is suited to businesses able to manage both elements as part of one contract.
