04Energy and utilities contracts: common questions
How many energy and utilities tenders are live in the UK?
28 right now, from 25 public buyers, with 16 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in energy and utilities contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win energy and utilities contracts?
Often, yes. 14 of the 28 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 5 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Energy & environment
Energy and environmental work often needs specific accreditations (MCS for renewables, for example) and strong health and safety evidence. Decarbonisation funding means more of these contracts are appearing, often in smaller lots.
