## Summary

Leicester City Council is buying mains gas to supply its requirements in Leicester. The purchase is for the gas supply itself, rather than works or related services. The council is the buyer, and the stated delivery area is the East Midlands. This is a bulk energy supply requirement for a local authority, so it is most relevant to gas suppliers able to serve public-sector demand and manage supply arrangements at council scale.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TotalEnergies Gas & Power Ltd on 15 October 2026. The award value is £26.2 million. The contract runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031, with an initial two-year term and options to extend for up to a further two years. Leicester City Council used a direct award under ESPO Framework 192_27 for mains gas supply, rather than a new open competition. The contract covers a single supply requirement; the award was made on the basis of this framework route. The original submission deadline was 30 September 2026.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for mains gas through a framework call-off, and the selected supplier is a large energy company. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capacity and commercial arrangements to supply a local authority at substantial scale, together with access to an appropriate public-sector framework route. The requirement is for mains gas supply, so relevant experience would be in serving comparable organisational gas demand and managing delivery across the council’s stated area. The published information does not describe specialist technical or accreditation requirements, so the key evidence of fit is the ability to deliver the gas supply at council scale through the applicable framework.
