## Summary

Hastings Borough Council procured gas as a goods supply requirement for its operations in the South East of England. The procurement falls within the broad energy supply category, covering petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other energy sources. The requirement is titled ESPH807 HBC Gas. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Hastings, East Sussex. The arrangement concerns the provision of gas rather than installation, construction or an associated professional service. Businesses active in commercial gas supply, energy trading or managed energy procurement are the most relevant comparators. The requirement was delivered through the council’s existing purchasing arrangements for energy supplies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026 to EDF Energy Customers Limited. The awarded value is £260,413.72 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. Bids closed at 12:00 on 15 July 2026. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded through a reverse auction conducted by Equity Energies Limited, which operates the DPS or framework for Gwynedd Council. The stated evaluation route was therefore competitive pricing through the reverse auction. The award is active, and EDF Energy Customers Limited is the sole named supplier.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a substantial, multi-year commercial gas supply in the South East, with the buyer using a dynamic purchasing system and reverse auction rather than a standalone open tender. Future competitors would need to be able to supply gas at organisational scale, participate effectively in a DPS call-off and compete through an electronically managed price-based auction. The successful supplier is a large energy company, indicating that operational capacity, reliable wholesale procurement and the ability to manage public-sector supply arrangements are important commercial strengths. Energy suppliers and aggregators with comparable public-sector delivery experience would be best placed to assess similar requirements from Hastings Borough Council.
