In plain English

Mid Suffolk District Council wants to buy mains electricity for 102 of its non-half-hourly meters (smaller sites that are read periodically rather than continuously), starting 1 April 2027. The estimated total use is about 0.4 GWh a year, and the council is considering contract lengths of 12, 24 or 36 months.

What the buyer wants

• A licensed electricity supplier to provide the council's mains electricity for the 102 meters from 1 April 2027 • Pricing for the energy supply over the chosen contract term (12, 24 or 36 months), against an estimated value of £469,785 • Ongoing supply management for the non-half-hourly meters across the contract period

Likely requirements

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

Electricity supply is a regulated market, so a bidder must hold an Ofgem supplier licence or work through a licensed supplier, which rules out most small businesses that cannot buy and sell energy directly.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
