Common questions
Energy and fuel procurement, in short
Who buys energy and fuel in the UK public sector?
1,005 public sector organisations have awarded energy and fuel contracts since 2021. The most active are NHS Shared Business Services Limited (319 contracts), Ministry of Defence (254 contracts), Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited ("CHIC") (132 contracts).
How much is a typical energy and fuel contract worth?
The median is £1.6m, across the 4,039 contracts of 4,530 that publish a value. A median rather than an average, because a single framework worth hundreds of millions would otherwise make the typical contract look far larger than it is.
When do energy and fuel contracts come up for renewal?
435 contracts in this category have an end date inside the next 18 months. End dates are published in the original award notice, so they are visible long before any re-tender is advertised, which is usually the point at which the specification is already written.
How do I find new energy and fuel tenders?
Notices are published across Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales, each with its own search. Tender Radar reads all four each weekday morning and scores new notices against your profile, alongside the contracts in this category approaching renewal.
