This is a framework contract to supply natural gas to UK public sector organisations (like councils, hospitals, schools, and government agencies) and handle all associated services. The buyer is using an existing government framework called CCS RM6251, and you'd be bidding for Lot 2 (gas supply specifically). The contract value depends on how much gas these organisations have historically used.
Requirements
- Must be able to supply gas to multiple public sector bodies across the UK
- Must handle billing and administration services
- Must provide customer service support
- Must provide decarbonisation support services (helping customers reduce gas consumption/emissions)
- Must be registered or approved to supply gas in the UK
- Must comply with CCS RM6251 Supply of Energy and Additional Services framework terms
- Must be bidding specifically for Lot 2 (gas supply) not other energy types
Key Tasks & Deliverables
- Deliver gas supply to multiple public sector organisations
- Process billing and invoicing for gas consumed
- Provide administrative support for accounts
- Deliver customer service (likely phone/email support for queries)
- Provide decarbonisation support (advice/services to help customers reduce gas use and carbon emissions)
- Deliver any additional services specified in the framework agreement
How to Read This Tender
- 1This is a 'framework' contract, not a direct purchase order — you're pre-qualifying to supply gas, then individual public bodies place orders against your rates. You need to understand how framework agreements work before bidding.
- 2The value is 'estimated by historic consumption' — this means the buyer has calculated it based on what these organisations spent on gas in previous years, but it's not guaranteed. Your actual turnover could be more or less depending on market conditions and customer behaviour.
- 3CCS RM6251 is a pre-existing Crown Commercial Service framework — download the full framework document (not just this notice) to see the exact terms, pricing requirements, and conditions you must accept. This notice is just the summary.
- 4Lot 2 means there are other lots (probably Lot 1 for electricity, Lot 3 for renewables, etc.). Make sure you're only bidding for Lot 2 (gas) unless you also want other lots.
- 5Watch for evaluation criteria — the notice doesn't specify how the buyer will choose between bidders (price, service quality, decarbonisation innovation, etc.). This detail will be in the full tender documents; read it carefully to shape your proposal.
Tips for Small Businesses
- As a small business, you might not have gas supply licenses or infrastructure yet — consider partnering with a larger licensed gas supplier as a subcontractor or consortium member to handle the physical supply, while you focus on customer service or decarbonisation support. This lowers your risk and lets you enter the market.
- Decarbonisation support is a growth area — if you have expertise in energy efficiency, renewable heating alternatives, or carbon reduction, emphasise this heavily. Public sector bodies are under pressure to cut emissions, so strong decarbonisation services could be a winning differentiator even if your gas price is not the cheapest.
- Check if you already comply with the CCS RM6251 framework — if you're already an approved supplier on this framework, you may simply need to re-qualify or update your bid. If you're new to it, budget time (and potentially cost) to meet compliance requirements, audits, and cyber security standards.
