## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded a contract for electricity supply under Corporate Services to various DEFRA and Environment Agency sites. This procurement process, classified under energy and related services, involved a call-off from a framework agreement and concluded with EDF Energy securing the contract. The procurement fell under the goods category and was conducted using a selective method. The contract begins on 1st April 2026 and ends on 31st March 2027, representing a value of £9,780,000. The supplier is expected to cater to a broad range of locations, including the UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and Rest of the World.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies in the energy supply sector, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale service provision across multiple geographies. The procurement method employed, selective via framework agreement, implies that businesses previously included in relevant frameworks had the upper hand. However, this contract was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger, established firms with expansive reach and resources, such as EDF Energy, were better suited to compete in the tender process. Interested business users should consider positioning themselves within frameworks to capitalise on similar opportunities in the future.
