UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid Suffolk District Council is seeking a supplier for mains gas to serve 24 gas meters. The requirement covers an estimated annual volume of 2.9 GWh, with supply across the council’s sites in the United Kingdom. This is a gas supply contract, rather than a works or installation requirement. The council is the buyer; Indigo Swan is managing the tendering process. Suppliers should be able to provide mains gas and support the metering and billing arrangements required for the council’s account.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, using a selective process. Suppliers were asked 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 stated award decision date was 16 November 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with contract options considered for 12, 24 or 36 months. The estimated gross value is £588,754. Award is primarily on price, with preference for the lowest fixed rates and standing charges; billing, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered.

This opportunity suits licensed gas suppliers registered with Ofgem that can meet the council’s operational and account requirements. Suppliers must have credit-checked approval for the contracting party and be able to offer both brown and green supply options. Required service capabilities include consolidated and monthly billing, electronic billing files and payment by BACS. Providers with established processes for fixed-price energy supply, account management and customer service will be well placed, as these factors may inform the award alongside price. The scale is a multi-meter public-sector gas supply with substantial annual consumption, so bidders need the capacity to serve 24 meters and manage the associated billing requirements.
