Energy tenders

Energy tenders without the commissions

For large energy users on multi-year contracts: we tender every retailer when your contracts come up for renewal, hold every renewal date across your sites, and take no retailer commission. The lowest rate is locked the day your contract renews, never mid-contract.

The basics

What is an energy tender?

An energy tender takes your sites to the market: retailers compete for your electricity and gas load, and you choose from the offers that come back. For commercial and industrial portfolios it is the standard way to buy energy, and done well it is the moment your rates get honest.

Done badly, it is a ritual you repeat every year: the retailer hikes the rate once the honeymoon pricing ends, and a broker paid at signing has no reason to renegotiate. So the process starts again, every renewal, on their terms.

We run tenders differently: commission-free, whole market, at every renewal. Every offer comes back side by side with our share in the open, and we hold every contract and renewal date across your sites, re-tendering each one at the right time so nothing rolls to a default rate no one negotiated.

The process

How our energy tender works

01

Share your sites

A recent bill for each site and your authority to request pricing on your behalf. That is all we need to go to market.

02

We tender the whole market

Every retailer that can serve your sites competes on the same terms, not a preferred panel we hold agreements with. And we time the tender to the market, not to a deadline.

03

Compare offers side by side

Every rate labelled on a like-for-like basis, with the saving found and our share shown in the open. The number you see is the number you get.

04

Locked at renewal, watched ongoing

The winning rate is locked the day your contract renews, never mid-contract. Then we hold every renewal date across your sites and re-tender each contract at the right time, so nothing rolls to a default rate.

When to tender

When a tender is the right tool

Not every site needs one. These are the situations where tendering earns its keep.

Commercial and industrial portfolios

Larger sites with negotiated contracts are priced through tenders, not rate cards. If your sites are big enough to negotiate, they are big enough to tender properly.

A contract end date approaching

The months before your contracts roll over are when a tender has the most leverage. Rolling onto a default rate is the most expensive thing a busy business does.

A portfolio worth consolidating

Mixed retailers, states and renewal dates across many sites. One tender brings the whole book onto aligned terms and one consolidated bill.

Smaller sites? Most never need a tender at all: our energy procurement service keeps them on the lowest rate automatically.

After the tender

The tender that never really ends

Most advisers are paid at signing and go quiet until you chase them. We hold every contract and renewal date across your portfolio, watch the market between renewals, and re-tender each contract at the right time. That is what actively managed accounts look like on multi-year contracts: the work never stops, even though the switch only happens at renewal.

Your procurement team gets what it needs too. Security and due-diligence documentation is ready on request, so a late-arriving process is a formality rather than a restart.

Questions

Energy tenders, answered

What does an energy tender cost?

We're paid from a share of the savings we find, never a retailer commission. Commercial and industrial contracts run for several years, so a saving can't always be guaranteed the way it can for smaller sites. What we guarantee is the lowest rate available at the time we tender, with no commission steering the outcome.

How long does a tender take?

It depends on the size and mix of the portfolio, so we agree timing with you up front rather than promising a number we can't hold. Simple books move quickly; complex commercial and industrial loads take longer.

What do you need from me?

A recent bill for each site and your authority to request pricing on your behalf. After that, the market work is ours.

Do I have to change retailers?

Only if an offer is worth taking. If your current retailer wins the tender, you stay, on better terms. Nothing changes physically at your sites either way.

We're locked into contracts across our sites. Can you still help?

Yes. We map every contract and renewal date across your portfolio and re-tender each one at the right time, so you're never switching early or rolling to a default rate.
