2. Whether you’ve been an academy or multi-academy trust (MAT) for a while, or you have just converted, you will face
energy management challenges. The complexities involved in procuring energy as a non-for-profit contracting authority
may push you outside your comfort zone but specialist advice is at hand.
We are helping thousands of academies understand how to procure energy contracts more efficiently and economically,
in a fully compliant and auditable manner, that satisfies the requirements of Ofsted and Public Contract Regulations.
We can help you with:
• Designing your energy procurement strategy
• Constructing effective template documentation
• Provide key staff with training on energy procurement
and risk management
• The provision of a fully managed OJEU procurement
exercise
• Advising on the creation and running of Procurement
Clubs or other co-operative buying vehicles
• Providing ongoing support with energy procurement,
energy compliance and energy efficiency issues
With over 20 years experience in energy procurement we
have one of the most experienced teams in the UK who are
recognised as Best Advisor and Best Energy Broker 2015 &16.
We have also built up a successful track record helping non-
for-profit bodies such as social landlords, global charities,
church bodies, social enterprise and now academies.
How you will benefit:
• We will run a bespoke OJEU tender for the provision of
gas and electricity supply contracts
• We will typically save between 5%-15% against
traditional public buying organisations’ (PBOs’) offers
• The use of our award winning reverse auction software
will drive aggressive competition between 8-10 suppliers
(opposed to one pre-selected suppliers in PBO offers)
• We can assess both qualitative and cost criteria, in line
with Public Contract Regulations 2015
• We will carry out due diligence on participating
suppliers’ terms, checking offers for hidden risk premiums
• We will support you every step of the way
