Summary of the contracting process

Babergh District Council is seeking a supplier for mains electricity to serve 100 non-half-hourly meters. The requirement is for an estimated 0.4 GWh per year, with supply to council premises in Suffolk. This is an electricity supply contract, rather than a project to install or maintain energy infrastructure. The buyer is Babergh District Council. The procurement covers one lot and the supply is intended to begin in April 2027. Electricity suppliers able to serve the council’s meters and meet its billing and account requirements are the relevant market for this opportunity.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure using a selective process. Suppliers first had to submit an expression of interest by 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; selected suppliers were then to receive a minimum of 10 days to submit contract offers for analysis and negotiation. The planned award decision was by 16 November 2026. The contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with the buyer considering terms of 12, 24 or 36 months. The estimated total value is £467,809 including VAT. Award is primarily on price, favouring the lowest fixed charges across rates and standing charges for the contract period; billing, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered.

This requirement suits licensed electricity suppliers registered with Ofgem that can supply a portfolio of 100 non-half-hourly meters and offer fixed rates and standing charges. Suppliers must confirm that the contracting party passes credit checks, and provide both brown and green electricity options. The operational requirements include consolidated monthly billing, an electronic billing file and payment by BACS. Suppliers with established billing systems, reliable account management and customer service, and the ability to support the buyer’s billing processes are well placed to compete. The buyer may also take account of added-value services, so suppliers able to demonstrate relevant service support alongside competitive fixed pricing may be better positioned.
