The contract, titled "Energy Supplies 2028 - 2032 (Gas)", is aimed at supplying gas to council buildings and Lancashire schools. The procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on natural gas distribution. The associated CPV codes are 09123000 for natural gas and 65200000 for gas distribution and related services. The expected contract period is from October 2028 to September 2032. This procurement aligns with potential administrative changes under a Local Government Reorganisation programme, which could affect contractual arrangements. Interested parties should note the future notice date for further details, set for 1st December 2026.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in natural gas supply and related distribution services. As the procurement involves a large-scale, multi-year contract, businesses with robust supply chains, capacity for consistent service delivery, and experience in public sector contracts would be well-suited to compete. With impending changes in local government structures, there may be opportunities for innovative solutions in contract management, offering further potential for businesses capable of providing flexible service options. The chance to engage with a prominent buyer like Lancashire County Council presents valuable prospects for firms looking to establish or expand their presence in the public sector energy supply market within the UK.

## Notice

This contract will cover the supply of natural Gas to Lancashire County Council buildings and Lancashire schools. Central government is progressing a national programme of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), which may result in structural changes to existing councils, including the creation of new unitary authorities in Lancashire. Elections for reorganised councils are currently expected in May 2027, with new structures proposed to go live in April 2028. Resulting changes may involve contract novation, variation, or reassignment to successor authorities, and appropriate provisions will be included in the procurement of the contract to accommodate this.
