Business energy procurement, without the shortcuts.
Most brokers help you switch. We help you buy it properly — comparing 28+ UK gas and electricity suppliers, telling you when to buy, not just what it costs , managing the account long after you’ve signed, and showing our commission in writing before you agree to anything.
We don’t do instant online prices — and that’s deliberate.

We don’t start with prices. We start with the supply.
We could put an instant price on this page — that’s the easy part. But a box can’t read your contract, and there are supplies it can’t price at all.
You send us a recent bill. It lands with a named adviser — not a form parser — who works out whether moving would actually improve your position at all. Sometimes switching is right. Sometimes staying put, or waiting, is the better answer. Only then does your supply decide how it gets priced.
- Bill received
You send us a recent bill
One is enough. It tells us who supplies you, what you’re paying, and — the part most people can’t find — when your contract actually ends.
- Adviser assigned
It lands with a named adviser
Someone who reads commercial energy bills for a living, owns your review from here, and stays your point of contact throughout.
- Position reviewed
We check whether moving is even right
Is your current deal still competitive? Have you slipped onto out-of-contract, deemed or rollover rates? Is your renewal close, or would acting now be premature? Often the first win is simply not missing your renewal.
- Route selected
Your supply decides what happens next
Not every supply is priced the same way, and not every supplier wants every supply. From the 28+ UK suppliers we work with, we go to the ones that actually fit yours.
- Non-half-hourly
- Lower to moderate usage
- Rate-book pricing
Suppliers price supplies of this size from their rate books, so there’s usually nothing to wait for. We gather the ones that fit yours, compare them, and come back to you.
We only need a Letter of Authority when you decide to go ahead — to lock the deal in, not to start looking.
- Half-hourly
- Multi-site
- Bespoke pricing
These are priced against your actual consumption rather than a rate book. We take a Letter of Authority up front so we can validate your data directly with your supplier.
Then we do the part a rate book can’t: we take the strongest offers back to suppliers and push them to sharpen the rate further.
A plain recommendation with the reasoning attached: switch, stay and renegotiate, or wait. You decide — we never sign anything for you.
Our commission is already in the rates you’re quoted, and it’s set out on the contract.
The number comes at the end. Everything before it is why you can trust it.
You send us one bill. Here’s everything that happens next.
Your entire part in this takes about two minutes. Ours takes rather longer — which is exactly the point.
That’s it. Everything else is on us.
That one bill tells us more than you’d think. Who supplies you. What you’re really paying — the unit rate, the standing charge, the parts of the bill most people never read. When your contract ends. And, more often than not, whether you’ve quietly rolled onto a rate that’s been costing you for months.
So before we go anywhere near a new price, we work out exactly where you stand. The best deal on the market is worthless if you’re locked in until spring, or about to miss the one short window where you can leave without a penalty.
The first saving is usually hiding in a date — not a deal.
Then we take you to the market: all 28+ suppliers on our panel. What comes back depends on your size. A straightforward single site is priced from the suppliers’ rate books, so our job is to comb every one of them and surface the strongest. A larger, half-hourly or multi-site supply is built to order — bespoke pricing , shaped around what you actually use.
And where it’s bespoke, we don’t stop at the first number. We take the best offers back to the suppliers and push — quietly, one deal at a time — to sharpen them further.
An instant price is a number. This is a negotiation.
By the time you hear from us, the hard part is done. You get a plain recommendation and the reasoning behind it — switch, stay and renegotiate, or simply wait for a better moment. Our commission is already in the rates and written into the contract, however the supplier chooses to show it; we’ll never dodge a question about it. Then you decide. We never sign for you.
Say yes, and we handle the rest — the paperwork, the handover between your old supplier and your new one, without a second’s break in your actual supply. And then we don’t disappear — but that’s the next story.
Here’s what most brokers won’t tell you.
If your business uses around 150,000 kWh a year or less — a single site, steady usage — this one’s for you.
There’s no bespoke deal to negotiate.
At this level, suppliers won’t build a tailored, negotiated contract for a single lower-usage site — it isn’t worth their pricing team’s time. So every broker, us included, works from the supplier’s standard rate books.
We’re all working from broadly the same books.
Give or take. Some brokers get slightly more favourable rate books — it’s not groundbreaking, but it’s the honest truth. And no broker has every supplier; there are a couple even we don’t work with. Anyone claiming they cover “the whole market” is stretching it.
So what moves the price? Commission.
If the rate book’s much the same, the thing that changes the number you’re quoted is how much commission the broker adds. It’s built into your unit rate — so more commission simply means a higher price for you.
And it goes further than you’d think.
Some suppliers let a broker add up to 3p per kWh in commission. Plenty take every bit of it — quietly, baked into the price they hand you as “the best deal”.
So here’s a fair question.
Been with a broker a while? What do you reckon they’re earning on your energy? Most businesses have no idea — because they were never shown.
How Our Energy Procurement Service Works
Switching your business energy shouldn't be complicated. Here's how we make it easy.
Audit Your Current Contract
We review your existing energy bills, contract terms, usage patterns, and renewal date. This detailed analysis identifies savings opportunities, hidden fees, and the optimal time to renegotiate. No surprises — just clarity.
Receive Your Quotes
For immediate pricing on smaller, single-site businesses, we can provide quotes the same day. For full tender processes with multiple sites or complex requirements, we conduct a comprehensive 5 working day tender across all applicable suppliers, ensuring you get the most competitive rates.
Obtain Current Contract Details
Once you're ready to proceed, we obtain your current contract information directly from your existing supplier. This typically takes 5 working days under our service level agreement (SLA) and ensures we have complete details for seamless switching.
Tender & Final Negotiation
We present your requirements to 28+ suppliers for a full competitive tender. This takes a further 5 working days, allowing us to secure the best possible rates and terms. We review all quotes holistically — price, flexibility, contract terms — and present our recommendations with complete transparency.
Immediate pricing available for smaller, single-site businesses requiring quick decisions.
Current contract information obtained from your existing supplier within our 5 working day service level.
Comprehensive tender process across applicable suppliers for multi-site or complex needs.
Transparent analysis of all quotes showing potential savings, flexibility, and best terms.
Your Energy Procurement Questions Answered
We understand energy contracts can be confusing. Here are answers to questions businesses like yours ask most often.
Energy procurement is the process of sourcing and negotiating business energy contracts on your behalf. It's important because energy is typically one of the largest controllable costs for businesses — procurement expertise can save 5-15% annually. Without expert guidance, most businesses accept supplier renewal offers without negotiation, miss optimal market windows, and overlook contract terms that could cost thousands.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, this is one of the key benefits of expert procurement. We typically recommend starting the process 6-12 months before your current contract expires. This gives us time to monitor market trends, assess the best renewal window, and lock in competitive rates before your current deal ends. Early renewal protects you from price spikes and gives you certainty.
We help with fixed-rate contracts (the most common for budget certainty), flexible/variable contracts, and combinations of both. We work with businesses of all sizes — from small offices to large industrial operations with complex multi-site needs. Whether you need electricity, gas, or both, we negotiate with 28+ suppliers to find the best fit for your usage, location, and business goals.
We save money through timing, negotiation, and transparency. First, we identify optimal market windows — locking in rates when prices are lower, not at peak. Second, we leverage relationships with 28+ suppliers to secure competitive bids suppliers wouldn't offer directly to customers. Third, we review all contract terms to eliminate hidden fees and unfavourable clauses. Finally, we ensure you're only paying for the energy you actually use — no overestimation or unnecessary charges.
No, we don't charge you a direct fee. We work on supplier commission — meaning our incentives are aligned with yours. We only benefit if we secure you a good deal. There are no hidden costs, no admin fees, and no surprise charges. Your savings are real, not offset by consultation fees.
Yes, absolutely. We work with single-site businesses and complex multi-site operations. If you have multiple locations, we can consolidate consumption data, negotiate better rates across all sites, and manage all contracts through one point of contact. We've handled everything from small offices to large hospitality groups and manufacturing facilities — complexity is what we do best.
Fixed-rate contracts protect you when prices rise (which is often), but if prices fall significantly, you could pay more than market rate. However, here's the trade-off: fixed contracts give you budget certainty — no surprises, no volatility. We help you weigh this risk when we recommend contract terms. Our goal is to lock in fair rates at optimal market windows, not bet on future price movements. If you're concerned about this, variable contracts are an alternative, though they come with price volatility risk.
Suppliers prioritise their own margins, not your savings. Going direct means you'll likely accept standard quotes without leverage. Procurement experts bring several advantages: we represent multiple suppliers (negotiating power), we understand market timing and pricing dynamics, we review every contract term for hidden costs, and we provide ongoing support. Businesses that negotiate alone typically leave 5-15% savings on the table. Our expertise pays for itself many times over.
You provide information and we complete an initial review, then send a Letter of Authority to request historical data from your existing supplier. They have a 5 working day SLA to provide this. We then tender to all applicable suppliers with a 5 day price SLA. We present all quotes the day they're received — these are valid on that date. If you need more time to decide, we request a price refresh on the new date to ensure current rates. Overall, expect 2-3 weeks from initial contact to your decision. If you start 6-12 months before your current contract expires, we have ample time to plan your renewal. If you're closer to expiry, we can work with your timeline.
