Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured natural gas for its operations through the Scottish Government framework for the supply of natural gas. The requirement covered regulated gas call-off supplies used by the council, with activity associated with the council area and the buying organisation based at Council Headquarters in Newtown St Boswells. This is a goods supply requirement rather than a works or professional services contract. The procurement’s classification is CPV 09123000, natural gas. The arrangement relates specifically to the council’s consumption under the collaborative framework, rather than a general gas infrastructure project or a standalone installation service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure, as a call-off from the Scottish Government framework for the supply of natural gas. Total Gas and Power Ltd was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and covers the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its value is £1,292,913.28. The published figure represents the actual regulated call-off spend incurred during that period. One bid was recorded for the lot. The lot was completed, the resulting contract is active, and the notice records that standard price and quality award weightings did not apply to publication of the cumulative framework spend.

For a supplier assessing future council gas requirements, this award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a sizeable, regulated natural gas supply delivered through a collaborative Scottish Government framework. A credible competitor would need to provide the commodity at the scale required by a local authority, manage call-off purchasing and consumption over a full annual supply period, and operate within the framework’s commercial and compliance arrangements. The incumbent was a large gas and power supplier, indicating that financial, operational and market capacity are important for this type of requirement. Businesses should therefore focus on framework participation, dependable supply arrangements, public-sector account management and the ability to support regulated council energy purchasing.
