OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council sought an energy supplier for vacant council-owned residential properties in Edinburgh. The requirement covered the supply of energy to void homes under contract CT1702, classified as energy and related services (CPV 71314000). The Council was the buying organisation and the service was intended for its residential housing stock. The procurement was structured as one lot and included electronic ordering and electronic payment arrangements. The contract also included requirements for performance monitoring, quality management, health and safety, and environmental management. Delivery was therefore focused on supplying energy to properties managed by the Council rather than on construction, maintenance or general housing services.

The procurement was run as an open procedure and has been discontinued: the single lot and the tender were marked cancelled, and the award outcome was recorded as unsuccessful. The estimated procurement value was £1,260,000. Bids were due by 31 August 2026 at 17:00, with bid opening at that time; bids were to remain valid until 29 December 2026. The planned contract duration was 2,520 days, with recurrence described over 84 months. Evaluation was based on quality at 60% and price at 40%. Economic requirements included annual turnover of at least £50,000 for each of the last two financial years and current ratios above 1.10 for both years. Required insurance levels were £10m public liability, £5m employers’ liability and £5m professional indemnity.

This requirement is relevant to energy suppliers able to serve vacant council residential properties and manage supply arrangements across a housing portfolio. A credible competitor would need robust operational capacity for account setup, meter and property administration, billing, electronic ordering and payment, and responsive handling of properties entering or leaving void status. The Council also expected formal performance monitoring, independently certified quality management or an equivalent scheme, health and safety policies and procedures, and environmental management capability. Suppliers would need to demonstrate financial resilience, maintain substantial public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity cover, and satisfy any professional qualification requirements applying to service delivery. The recurrence of the requirement indicates a continuing purchasing need for this Council.
