Tender: Gas Renewal Services for Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership — Contract from 1 September 2026

About

ESOS Energy Ltd, on behalf of Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership, is seeking a supplier for provision of gas renewal services to secure and implement new gas supply arrangements for the Trust and its schools ahead of existing contract end dates, ensuring continuity of supply, regulatory compliance and auditable decision-making. The service includes coordination of site and meter data, market engagement and quotation management (or support to the Trust’s chosen route to market), evaluation and award support, and onboarding/mobilisation with the incoming contractor, with delivery planned around each school’s contract expiry profile and following a defined sequence from data validation through to contract start and live service commencement. The contractor must provide a clear timeline, identified dependencies, named operational and escalation contacts, and operate governance and reporting (including weekly status updates during active renewal windows, exception reporting for at-risk sites and audit capture). Delivery must support the Trust’s safeguarding, data protection and compliance requirements (including secure handling of site and billing data) and declare and manage any third parties involved. Typical performance measures include on-time renewals before contract end, zero loss of supply incidents, accuracy of meter/site data, successful first-time billing and responsiveness to queries and escalations. The contract start date is 1 September 2026 and the contract term will be 12, 24 or 36 months, with the final term determined by which option offers the most economically advantageous outcome considering total cost, pricing profile, risk and service delivery.
