## Summary

In a recent procurement process, The North Yorkshire Council completed a project titled "Purchase of Gas Supply" under the LASER Gas Flex 2024-2028 framework. This direct procurement, classified under the 'goods' category with CPV code 09121200 for mains gas, is set to supply gas to the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £18,940,000, commenced on 1st April 2025 and will end on 31st March 2029, following an award active date of 20th May 2024. The procurement method used was a direct award, and the recent update on the award was documented on 6th February 2026.

This gas supply contract offers significant opportunities for large-scale energy suppliers able to fulfil regional gas supply needs. While specifically targeted via direct award, the procurement highlights the demand within public sector frameworks like the LASER Flex scheme, which could present future growth prospects for energy suppliers capable of servicing large contracts efficiently. Though this tender was not open to SMEs or VCSEs, large energy providers with capabilities to manage such contracts could consider aligning themselves for similar opportunities, potentially expanding their reach within the public sector in the UK.
