## Summary

The procurement process titled "End of Life Energy Support Services" involves SCOTIA GAS NETWORKS LIMITED as the primary buyer along with multiple other UK Gas Distribution Networks including CADENT GAS LIMITED, NORTHERN GAS NETWORKS LIMITED, and Wales & West Utilities Limited. This initiative falls under the private utility industry category, with services addressing community welfare, particularly for those in vulnerable situations such as the terminally ill. The project's scope covers various regions across the United Kingdom, from UKC to UKM. The procurement method used was a direct award, justified by the unique technical capability of the supplier, MARIE CURIE, emphasising a collaborative approach and efficient use of the Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA) funds. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract period is from 4th June 2026 to 30th September 2028, with a total project value of £821,355.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for service-providing organisations experienced in community welfare, elderly care, and support for disabled individuals. Large-scale enterprises with a social enterprise focus or those aligned with voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) attributes will find this contract well-suited to their capabilities, given its emphasis on regulated utility services and vulnerability support. Such projects necessitate robust delivery frameworks and established networks, as typified by Marie Curie, enabling consistent service delivery across regions. By engaging in this contract, businesses can not only expand their operations geographically but also reinforce their position as leaders in welfare services, aligning with both social responsibility goals and regulatory compliance.

## Notice

A collaborative Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA) funded project delivered by UK Gas Distribution Networks to support people in vulnerable situations. This project focuses on sustaining and expands energy safeguarding support for people with terminal illness. It will provide a dedicated Energy Support team, accessible resources, and training so staff and volunteers can identify vulnerable households and make effective referrals. The partnership will also promote services through Marie Curie's network and shops, embedding a sustainable pathway to support families in maintaining safe, warm homes.

### Procurement Information

The contract supports a regulated Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA) funded initiative delivered through a specialist charity provider with an established national network and proven capability to deliver the required services at scale. Marie Curie operates a federated national delivery model that enables consistent delivery across multiple Gas Distribution Networks, supported by existing governance, quality assurance, and reporting arrangements. The collaborative approach between GDNs enables consistent programme delivery, shared oversight, and efficient use of VCMA funding in line with Ofgem guidance. A direct award is therefore justified on the basis of the supplier's technical capability, proportionality, and alignment with regulatory objectives relating to vulnerability support and carbon monoxide safety.
