Energy Procurement

In times of economic decline and volatile energy markets it is vital to have access to utility supply contracts which deliver best value to your business.

TEAM can offer a high quality Procurement Service at an affordable price without tying you to any long term contractual commitments. We have the expertise to deliver best value contracts, whether fixed or flexible and our service is tailored to your specific requirements.

Our experienced consultancy team works to a structured and managed process to address all aspects of energy procurement including:

• Benchmarking of fixed energy contracts
• Data acquisition and validation
• Detailed preparation of tender documents
• Submission of tenders to the energy markets
• Analysis of fixed offers providing summary league tables, as well as site by site detail
• Negotiation of costs and terms and conditions
• Advice regarding contract timing, supplier offers and activities
• OJEU compliant tenders
• Advice on Risk Management Strategies
• Preparation and analysis of procurement strategies
• Recommendation reports
• Supply point registration

In order to secure the best value contracts for your organisation you need to provide potential suppliers with accurate information in the required formats.

This makes tendering a complex and time consuming process. Our specialist procurement consultants can take this burden from you so you can focus on managing the energy.

Sophisticated software tools enable us to quickly and accurately predict your utility cost for the coming year based on any offer from potential suppliers. This means you can compare offers from different suppliers on a like for like basis.

Once the best offer has been identified our experts can continue to support you for the duration of the contract should any problems arise.

Where fixed term fixed price contracts are not the best option for your organisation, we can negotiate flexible contracts that enable you to buy blocks of electricity and gas throughout the term of your contract.

Uncertainty and complexity of the energy markets are set to increase as the conflicting future pressures of global demand and environmental requirements grow. TEAM’s Flexible Procurement Service enables you to take advantage of the market volatility and resulting wholesale price movements.
