This procurement falls under the goods category in the CPV classification "Coal gas, mains gas or similar gases" (Standard code: 09121000), and encompasses different types of gas contracts, including domestic, small commercial, and large commercial supplies in Northern Ireland (UKN region).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in gas supply and distribution services to expand their client base within the housing sector. By participating in tenders such as these, companies can secure long-term contracts and demonstrate competitive pricing strategies, thereby enhancing their market reputation and revenue streams. Businesses equipped to handle fixed and variable pricing models and those able to provide gas distribution and related services will find this project particularly suitable. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in public utilities can also benefit from similar future tenders to penetrate the market and establish enduring partnerships with public sector bodies like Choice Housing. The open procurement method ensures a fair and transparent selection process, fostering healthy competition and innovation within the industry.

## Notice

Choice has approx. 90 communal or landlord natural gas supplies, including domestic, small commercial and large commercial gas contracts. The current contract expires on 30th September 2024 and the Association is seeking to secure the most competitive price across 3 Lots (covering the Greater Belfast network, 'Ten Towns' network and its commercial contacts). Choice is willing to consider a range of options, including fixed and variable prices, and one and two year timeframes. Options to group all of our natural gas supply or separate these into a number of contracts may also be considered. Natural Gas charges are typically passed on to tenants through their service charges and therefore Choice is seeking to ensure that it achieves value for money through a competitive exercise.
