## Summary

The Windsor Academy Trust has recently concluded its procurement process for the provision of fixed Electricity and Natural Gas supply products, with the process adhering to the Procurement Act 2023. The contracts are scheduled to commence on 1 September 2026 for electricity and 1 October 2026 for natural gas, covering an initial period of 36 months with the potential to extend to a maximum of four years. The procurement process was conducted openly, with the contracts now being awarded. Parties involved include significant players like Drax Energy Solutions Limited and EDF Energy Limited, located across the United Kingdom. The award status of the contracts remains pending with their values reflecting market adjustments due to regulatory and geopolitical efforts. The Electricity and Gas tender, currently in the award stage, concluded with bids covering the supply requirements for the Academy's sites, including potential additions during the contract period.

This tender offers considerable opportunities for businesses in the energy supply sector, particularly those with capabilities to meet fixed electricity and natural gas supply needs. Large established enterprises, as evidenced by the suppliers involved, stand to benefit considerably, though the process encourages open competition and transparency. Businesses that provide competitive pricing, robust service, and sustainable practices are well-suited to participate, ensuring alignment with the UK’s procurement standards. While this specific contract did not receive final stage bids from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), future tenders could represent an opportunity area as the procurement framework emphasises fair competition and value for money.
