NWSSP Procurement Services utilised the restricted procedure under the Utilities Contract Regulations 2016.

The requirement is to supply Natural Gas to approximately 575 NHS Wales sites. NHS Wales undertakes its own energy pricing procurement and engages directly with the supplier to secure prices and volumes on its behalf.

A brokerage service is not required and the supplier is required to hold an OFGEM Supply Licence. Natural Gas volumes for all sites are secured under one portfolio, currently secured in advance on a flexible basis.

Delivery: Wales · NHS Wales Sites

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Supply of Natural Gas” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
