UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council is seeking a supplier for mains electricity to serve 14 half-hourly meters. The stated annual volume is 0.7 GWh. This is an electricity supply contract, with delivery in the United Kingdom; the notice does not identify specific delivery locations. The requirement covers electricity supply rather than works or installation. Suppliers should be prepared to offer both brown and green electricity options and support the council’s billing and account requirements. The council is the buyer, and the tender is managed by Indigo Swan. The requirement is relevant to licensed electricity suppliers able to serve public-sector customers and administer multiple metered supplies. The contract is intended to provide electricity to the council over a defined multi-year term.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, using a selective process and an accelerated timetable justified by energy-market urgency. Suppliers first had to submit an expression of interest by 6 November 2026 at 12:00; selected suppliers were then to receive at least 10 days to return contract offers for analysis and negotiation. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The estimated gross value is £482,400. There is one lot. Award is primarily on price, with preference for the lowest fixed rates and standing charges across the contract term; billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered. To be selected, suppliers must be Ofgem-registered and hold the relevant supply licence.

This opportunity suits established electricity suppliers with the licence and regulatory registration needed to supply electricity, and the operational capacity to manage 14 half-hourly meters for a district council. Suppliers must be able to confirm credit-check approval for the contracting party and provide both brown and green supply options. The buyer also requires consolidated and monthly billing, an e-billing file, and payment by BACS, so bidders need systems that can support these arrangements. Strong fixed-rate pricing is central to the competition, while reliable customer service, account management and useful added-value services may help distinguish an offer. Suppliers should be comfortable providing contract offers for subsequent analysis and negotiation. The requirement is a single-council supply contract rather than a multi-lot programme.
