## Summary

The University of Essex has completed its procurement process for the supply of electricity under its utility supply and energy management solutions framework (Lot 1). The awarded contract covers a period from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2028 and is valued at £2,498,096 GBP. The initiative was facilitated through a call-off from a framework agreement, following a selective procurement method in the services category. This process was aimed at servicing the North West region of the United Kingdom, with the procurement award stage being reached on 19th June 2026, affirming the status as complete.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale businesses in the electricity supply industry, given the scale and value of the contract involved. As SMEs and VCSEs were not identified as suitable, larger entities like the successful supplier, SSE Energy Supply Ltd, are better positioned to meet the framework requirements and benefit from the business growth this contract can generate through expanded service delivery. This award underscores the potential for established companies to leverage existing framework agreements to secure substantial contracts.
