Procurement
We’ll help you source your energy requirements at the best prices possible with a strategy which fits your organisations appetite for risk
Flexible Procurement
Flexible Procurement is a method of purchasing energy on the wholesale markets in multiple segments prior to the point it is consumed. This approach mitigates the price risk associated with volatile energy markets. Our experts closely track the markets to buy your energy requirements at the best times.
Benefits to You
OJEU Compliant
Our procurement frameworks are fully OJEU compliant saving you the onerous task of having to run your own tender process.
Hedging Purchases to Mitigate Risk
Using Flexible procurement options means that energy purchases are hedged over a long period of time and over multiple purchases rather than on one specific day.
Variety of Purchasing Strategies
With our expertise in the energy market we have a large variety of purchasing strategies available meaning you can choose the best one for your organisation and its energy budget.
All Trades Audited
All trades are independently audited on a monthly basis to ensure accuracy of records and provides assurance to customers.
