Business Energy Procurement

It’s the structured process of sourcing and securing your electricity and gas, rather than accepting a renewal or a single quote. We take your consumption data to the market, run a competitive tender across our supplier panel, and help you choose the right contract for your price, risk and sustainability goals. For larger organisations it typically unlocks pricing and terms that aren’t available through a standard comparison.

A standard comparison shows you off-the-shelf tariffs for smaller supplies. Procurement is a bespoke, negotiated route for larger, high-usage or multi-site businesses. Instead of picking from fixed prices, your requirement is put out to tender and suppliers compete for it, which is how bespoke pricing is won.

It’s best suited to organisations using more than around 100,000 kWh a year, businesses with half-hourly (HH) meters, and anyone running several sites. If energy is a significant cost on your P&L, a tendered approach usually beats a renewal. Not sure where you sit? Call us and we’ll tell you honestly which route fits.

Once we have your details and Letter of Authority, pricing typically comes back within one to four business days. Wholesale-linked quotes are time-sensitive, so we give suppliers a defined window to bid, then present the offers to you quickly while the prices are still live.

An RFP (request for pricing) is the document we build to take your contract to market. It sets out your meter details, annual consumption, contract dates and any specific requirements, so every supplier bids on a like-for-like basis. A well-built RFP is what makes suppliers compete on the same footing.

Yes. We regularly consolidate multi-site portfolios that sit on different suppliers and end dates onto a single, aligned agreement with one point of contact and, where possible, one bill. Grouping sites into a basket can also unlock a better collective rate.

A fixed contract locks your unit rate and standing charge for the whole term, giving complete budget certainty. Flexible purchasing buys your volume in tranches over time to average out the market and take advantage of price dips. Fixed suits most businesses wanting certainty; flexible suits large, high-consumption sites comfortable with managed risk.

Yes. We can source REGO-backed renewable electricity or arrange a power purchase agreement (PPA) as part of your contract, so your energy supports your ESG and scope 2 reporting. Green tariffs are now often priced comparably to standard supply.

Our support is free to you. Like most energy brokers, we’re paid a commission by the supplier once a contract completes, and we’re always transparent about how that works. There’s no upfront fee and no obligation to accept any offer we present.

You can secure a new deal up to 12 months before your current contract ends, and starting early is an advantage. It gives us time to run a proper tender and to pick a good moment in the market, rather than being forced to buy on your end date. It also avoids rolling onto expensive out-of-contract or deemed rates.
