In plain English

Mid Suffolk District Council wants to buy mains electricity for its 14 half-hourly metered sites, starting 1 April 2027. The estimated annual use is 0.7 GWh, and the contract could run for 12, 24 or 36 months, with a value of about £482,400.

What the buyer wants

• Supply electricity to all 14 half-hourly metered council sites from 1 April 2027 • Provide the electricity at the estimated annual volume of 0.7 GWh over the chosen contract length (12, 24 or 36 months) • Quote a price for the energy supply, which the council will compare against other bids

Likely requirements

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

Supplying mains electricity directly usually requires an Ofgem supplier licence and the financial strength to handle a contract of around £482,000, so most small businesses without a licence or a supply partner would be ruled out.

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.
