## Summary

Durham County Council, based in County Hall, Durham, has conducted a procurement process titled "Supply of Gas," aimed at providing gas services to various sites including schools, academy trusts, and fire and rescue services. This tender falls under the Industry category of Petroleum products, fuel, electricity, and other sources of energy, specifically within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The process follows a selective procurement method, utilising a framework agreement, with the tender status marked as complete. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract awarded to CORONA ENERGY RETAIL 1 LIMITED on 24th February 2026, offering a substantial contract value of £30,000,000. The contract period is set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2032. Key dates include the tender period which ended on 20th January 2026 and the publication of the award notice on 26th February 2026.

This procurement initiative offers significant opportunities for businesses in the energy sector, particularly those capable of supplying gas on a large scale. Businesses that are classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this type of call-off contract from a framework agreement particularly beneficial, although the awarded contract has been secured by a large-scale supplier. The lengthy contract term suggests a stable and lucrative engagement, making it ideal for companies with strategic growth plans in the energy supply chain. Firms located within or familiar with the North East region, and those with expertise in servicing public sector contracts, could position themselves effectively to explore similar future opportunities with Durham County Council or other local authorities.
