Gas
Framework Description
NEPO302 Gas gives public bodies a compliant gas supply contract and associated services, for individual sites or whole organisational estates. It is a single-supplier framework with Corona Energy, managed with the NEPO Energy Team, and is not a DPS. The re-procured framework started on 1 April 2026 and runs to 31 March 2032, with no extension listed.
Context & Use Case
Local authorities, schools and academies, emergency services, housing providers and higher education organisations use it for gas supply across their sites. Buyers choose between flexible purchasing, where NEPO buys gas in advance of the supply period under a trading strategy, and fixed-price contracts over a range of terms. Each organisation decides whether to bring one site or its whole estate onto the agreement.
Scope of Services
Gas supply to public sector sites Flexible and fixed-price purchasing options Account and contract management Automatic meter reading installation and data Energy cost forecasting bulletins Net zero support, including renewable gas where available and smart metering
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
NEPO302 has one appointed supplier, Corona Energy, so there are no places for other gas suppliers to join. Licensed suppliers interested in this business should prepare for NEPO's re-procurement before the framework ends on 31 March 2032.
Buyer Benefits
Flexible purchasing lets NEPO's energy team take advantage of favourable market movements while protecting buyers against volatility, and fixed contracts give a predictable cost base. Automatic meter reading, forecasting bulletins and net zero services such as smart metering and data analysis come with the supply, and NEPO oversees the supplier, so buyers avoid running their own gas tender.
Next Steps
Licensed gas suppliers should focus on direct public sector energy tenders and other energy frameworks for now, and prepare public sector references, billing data and evidence of flexible purchasing, metering and decarbonisation support well ahead of NEPO's re-procurement before March 2032.
How Athena Can Help
With NEPO's Gas framework held by one supplier until 2032, Athena helps energy suppliers find other routes. Our framework identification finds energy frameworks and DPSs open now or due to open, and our public tender advice works through which direct public sector tenders to pursue.
When you bid, our bid writing consultancy writes and checks your responses on service, billing and price, so they score well against established suppliers. We also build pricing models for energy bids.
