In plain English

Babergh District Council wants to buy mains electricity for about 100 non-half-hourly (NHH) meters, meaning sites where usage is recorded in bulk rather than every half hour. The supply would start on 1 April 2027, with an estimated total use of 0.4 GWh a year and a value of about £467,809. The council is considering contract lengths of 12, 24 or 36 months.

What the buyer wants

• Supply mains electricity to around 100 NHH meters from 1 April 2027 • Provide for an estimated 0.4 GWh (400,000 kWh) of electricity per year • Offer pricing for a contract of 12, 24 or 36 months

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

The notice sets out no qualification criteria, but supplying electricity in Great Britain requires an Ofgem licence and the contract is a multi-year supply of around 0.4 GWh a year, so most small businesses without a licensed supply arrangement would be ruled out.
