Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed a public procurement process for the supply of natural gas under the Scottish Government Framework for the period from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, which falls under the goods category and is specifically categorized with the CPV code 09123000 for natural gas. The procurement covered the UKM91 region and has progressed to the award and contract stage, with Total Gas and Power Ltd being the appointed supplier. The contract, valued at £1,292,913.28, was signed on 1st April 2025, marking the start of the contract's active phase.

This contract represents a substantial opportunity for businesses, particularly those involved in the energy sector, as it reflects a significant public expenditure in the regional supply of natural gas. Although this tender has been awarded, businesses looking to grow should note the importance of building strong proposals and competitive bids to partake in similar future opportunities. Companies that are large-scale or have extensive capabilities in energy provision would be well-positioned to compete in such frameworks or similar procurement initiatives set by local government councils.
