## Summary

The Guinness Partnership Limited intends to procure metering, billing and meter-repair services for the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The work will cover statutory metering and billing requirements and repairs to metering equipment, in line with the contract specification and heat network regulations. The services relate to energy, electronic and electricity meters, alongside associated repair and maintenance. Delivery is expected across England, in a North and South regional split. The buyer anticipates two regional contracts, with the northern area covering northern England and the southern area covering the south and wider southern regions. The contract is intended to support the Partnership’s managed meter portfolio, including meters that may be added during the contract term.

This procurement is at planning stage: the buyer has stated its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It expects to use an open procedure. The estimated total value is £4,225,320 excluding VAT (£5,070,384 including VAT), based on current spend; the buyer expects the value to increase as more meters are brought under management. The intended contract period is 1 November 2027 to 31 October 2030, with an extension option to 31 October 2032. The buyer expects to publish a preliminary market engagement notice on 15 April 2027, providing opportunities for suppliers to inform the procurement strategy. Two regional lots are planned, North and South, although the structured lot detail currently describes only one lot. No tender deadline or evaluation criteria are set out at this planning stage.

The work is likely to suit suppliers with established energy-metering operations able to deliver billing, statutory metering services and repairs to metering equipment across a substantial regional portfolio. Experience working with heat networks and applying the relevant regulations will be important, as will the operational capacity to manage meters across the Partnership and its subsidiaries and to absorb additional meters during the contract period. Suppliers able to cover either the North or South may be relevant, since the buyer expects a regional division and indicates that small and medium-sized businesses are suitable for the described lot. The planned market engagement offers an opportunity for capable suppliers to contribute to the procurement strategy before the tender is developed. No specific accreditation or technical certification requirement is stated at this stage.

## Notice

The Guinness Partnership and all of its subsidiaries is seeking to procure two contracts to provide its statutory metering and billing requirements, as well as repairs of metering equipment in accordance with the contract specification and heat network regulations. The contracts will likely be on a regional basis: Lot 1 - North Lot 2 - South It is expected that a Preliminary Market Engagement Notice will shortly follow this notice, which will include market engagement opportunities to inform the strategy of this procurement. Estimated contract values are based on current spend and are likely to increase as more meters come under the management of this contract during the contract period.
