Summary of the contracting process

Babergh District Council is seeking a supplier for mains electricity to 17 half-hourly meters. The requirement covers an estimated 1.4 GWh of electricity per year for the council. Delivery is in the UK; the tender data does not give a more specific delivery place. The procurement is for the supply of electricity rather than installation or other energy works. The contract has been framed around a fixed supply arrangement, with the council considering different contract lengths and requiring suppliers to support billing and account services alongside electricity provision.

The council invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure using a selective process. Suppliers were first asked to express interest, with selected suppliers then invited to submit contract offers for analysis and negotiation. The expression-of-interest deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated award period ended 16 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with 12-, 24- and 36-month terms considered. The estimated total value is £1,259,776 including VAT. Award is primarily on price, with preference for the lowest fixed rates and standing charges. Billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered.

This requirement suits licensed electricity suppliers able to serve public-sector customers and provide supply across 17 half-hourly meters. Suppliers must be registered with Ofgem and hold the relevant electricity supply licence. They must confirm that the contracting party passes credit checks, and support both brown and green electricity options. The council requires consolidated monthly billing, an electronic billing file and BACS payments. Strong billing systems and reliable account management will therefore be relevant, alongside the ability to price fixed rates and standing charges across the required contract term. Customer service and added-value services may strengthen an offer, although price is the principal award consideration. The requirement is a multi-year energy supply for a council, rather than a one-off purchase.」} Tehran Oqartussatagaduhan派奖中 Џьington review code? Need issue: notice_info says
