## Summary

Babergh District Council sought a supplier for mains gas to serve 11 gas meters. The estimated requirement is 1.7 GWh per year, supplying the council’s sites in the United Kingdom. This is a gas supply contract rather than a works or installation project. Indigo Swan managed the tendering process for the council. The council considered contract lengths of 12, 24 or 36 months, and the published contract period covers supply from April 2027 to March 2030. Suppliers should be able to provide mains gas and support the specified billing and account arrangements. The requirement also accommodates both brown and green gas options.

The council invited expressions of interest through a competitive flexible procedure, using accelerated timescales because of volatility in energy markets. Expressions of interest were due by 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The published contract period runs from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030. The estimated gross value is £344,257. After selecting suppliers that meet the requirements, the buyer planned to allow at least 10 days for contract offers, followed by analysis and negotiation before award; the award period was scheduled to end on 16 November 2026. Evaluation is primarily on price, with preference for the lowest fixed rates and standing charges for the contract period. Billing requirements, customer service, account management and added-value services may also be considered. There is one lot.

This opportunity suits licensed energy suppliers registered with Ofgem, particularly those able to offer competitive fixed gas rates and standing charges for a multi-year supply. Suppliers must be prepared to obtain credit-check approval for the contracting party and confirm that they can provide brown and green options, consolidated billing, monthly billing, an electronic billing file and payment by BACS. Strong billing operations and dependable customer service and account management are relevant because these may also inform the buyer’s assessment. The buyer also listed added-value services as a possible consideration, so suppliers with useful complementary support may be well placed to compete. The requirement is a single supply covering 11 meters, making it relevant to suppliers able to manage a council account and its associated billing arrangements. A supplier found guilty of serious misrepresentation may be excluded.
