## Summary

The Bath and North East Somerset Council has awarded contracts for the provision of gas and electricity services, under the title "Award of Energy Contracts (Gas and Electricity) for B&NES." This procurement falls within the public utilities industry category and is classified as a limited procurement method due to the urgency of the requirement, allowing for direct awards without a prior call for competition. The contracts were signed on 1st July 2022, with a total value of £11,000,000, and are aimed at supplying energy for various needs including Half Hourly and Streetlighting requirements within the UKK12 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies in the energy sector, particularly those specialising in gas and electricity services. Businesses with relevant experience and capacity to meet urgent supply needs could be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.
