## Summary

Saffron Housing Trust is procuring mains electricity for 169 non-half-hourly meters serving its operations in the East of England. The requirement is for the supply of electricity, with an estimated total consumption of 0.9 GWh per year. It is classified as a goods procurement and includes consideration of both brown and green pricing options. The buyer is Saffron Housing Trust, with Indigo Swan acting as the procuring entity and providing tender analysis. The supply is intended to support the trust’s electricity needs across its metered sites rather than a construction or installation project. Suppliers should therefore be energy companies or specialist electricity providers able to manage a multi-meter portfolio, pricing, account administration and billing for a housing organisation.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited expressions of interest through a selective competitive flexible procedure, using accelerated timescales because of urgency in changing energy markets. Expressions of interest, and enquiries, had to be sent by email by 21 September 2026 at 12:00 BST. The award decision was scheduled to conclude by 5 October 2026 at 23:59 BST. The contract is planned to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2028, covering 12 months. Its estimated gross value is £255,688. The contract will be awarded primarily on price, particularly the lowest fixed rates and standing charges, with billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services also considered. The process is expected to recur, with a subsequent procurement date indicated for 22 November 2027.

This opportunity suits electricity suppliers registered with Ofgem and holding the relevant electricity supply licence. Bidders must be able to obtain credit-check approval for the contracting party, support payment by direct debit on 28-day terms, provide consolidated billing and offer an Excel billing file. Providers able to present both brown and green electricity pricing options may address the buyer’s stated requirements. The work calls for operational capacity to manage 169 non-half-hourly meters, aggregate consumption and charges, and provide reliable account management and customer service for a housing trust. Suppliers with experience of fixed energy pricing, portfolio billing and public or social-housing customers are well placed to compete, although the principal differentiator is the total contract price.
