Summary of the contracting process

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group Limited is buying sustainably sourced ENplus A1 biomass wood pellets, a wood fuel, for delivery to four of its sites in Wythenshawe. The stated requirement is around 200 tonnes a year, with deliveries generally needed within four working days after an order. The supply is intended to meet the group’s ongoing pellet needs across those locations. Suppliers should be able to provide pellets meeting the specified ENplus A1 standard and deliver reliably to all four sites. The buying organisation is based in Manchester. The procurement covers the supply and delivery of the pellets, rather than installation or other works.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement reached tender, and the arrangements were added retrospectively to reflect an existing contract. The tender submission deadline was 20 November 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The stated gross value is £268,200. The contract period is given as 21 November 2026 to 19 May 2027, with extensions potentially taking it to 19 May 2029; the stated renewal terms describe an initial two-year term from 20 May 2025 and two possible 12-month extensions. Evaluation assigns 60% to cost and 40% to quality. Quality covers delivery against the specification and deadlines, sustainable sourcing, environmental impacts, delivery vehicles, sustainability goals and reporting on sustainability measures.

This requirement suits biomass fuel suppliers able to source and supply sustainably produced ENplus A1 wood pellets, with distribution capacity to serve four sites in Wythenshawe. The buyer expects an annual requirement of around 200 tonnes and generally requires delivery within four working days of an order, so bidders need dependable stock, order handling and delivery arrangements. The quality assessment puts weight on explaining how the supplier will meet the specification and deadlines, demonstrate sustainable sourcing, reduce environmental impacts and report on sustainability measures. Suppliers should be ready to describe the vehicles used for deliveries and their organisation’s sustainability goals. The stated pellet standard and delivery expectations make relevant product assurance and a responsive local delivery operation central to competing.
