This tender has progressed to the award stage, with the contract signed on 1st April 2026. The EIC Partnership has been chosen as the supplier following a competitive flexible procedure tailored to ensure fair and advantageous outcomes. The contract period is set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, covering services such as strategic advice, compliance, and value-added support while managing gas and electricity meters across the UK regions.
