## Summary

The Community Housing Group Ltd intends to appoint an energy broker to support its energy purchasing and management. The work covers obtaining gas and electricity quotes, negotiating supply contract terms and prices, and recommending an appropriate purchasing strategy. The broker will monitor energy markets and provide intelligence and updates, advise when to secure contracts, identify ways to reduce costs, check supplier invoices for accuracy, and support energy data reporting. This is a services requirement for energy brokerage. Delivery is in the West Midlands, England.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It plans one lot, which it considers suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The anticipated contract runs from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2028, with a possible extension period through to 30 April 2032. The buyer is conducting preliminary market engagement and asks interested businesses to request its questionnaire by email, quoting “178. Energy Broker Procurement”; responses are expected by 1pm on 12 October 2026. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. No procedure, evaluation criteria or contract value is stated at this planning stage.

This requirement is likely to suit energy brokers able to source and compare gas and electricity offers, negotiate commercial supply terms, and advise a housing organisation on purchasing strategy and contract timing. Suppliers should be prepared to provide ongoing market monitoring and clear intelligence, identify cost-saving measures, scrutinise energy invoices for billing errors, and support the buyer’s energy reporting with usable data. The scope combines procurement advice with continuing account and data support, so businesses with capacity to cover these activities across the contract period may be well placed. The buyer has identified these service needs but has not set out specific accreditations, technical qualifications, minimum experience or staffing requirements.
