Public sector organisations must procure energy through an OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union) compliant process.
Organisations such as Local Authorities, NHS Trusts, MOD, Central Government Departments and Educational Establishments are all covered by this legislation. The public sector market consumes 19.4TWh of electricity spread over 8,000 electricity supply contracts and around 2,500 new notices are advertised every week.
Business Energies has vast experience with all stages of the OJEU tendering process adhering to all regulations involved. We have extensive knowledge of all OJEU procedures and offer added value services such as Bill Validation to ensure that all your charges are applied correctly.
How Business Energies can help
Business Energies offers a fully OJEU tender compliant process for energy procurement, with a solution for both fixed and flexible price contracts. We can support you through the whole process.
You get full visibility of all responses and if any supplier declines our Invitation to Tender (ITT), full explanations of their reasons will be sought and fed back to you.
Individually Negotiated Contract
- We can fully manage a flexible or fixed energy procurement contract on your behalf.
- A fixed price contract will help to aid budget certainty, which is key to many organisations in an ever-changing market.
- An individual flexible contract is a great alternative, however, as it enables you to capitalise on market rises and falls.
- We will analyse and rank all supplier offerings and have fact-to-face meetings with you when required.
Framework for Portfolio
- Business Energies assembles a group of sizeable energy users from the Public Sector to qualify for a fully-flexible energy contract.
- We have already completed the tender process and set up the framework with a contracting authority, so it’s easy for you to join.
- Our innovative solution benefits from group buying power, best-practice Energy Risk Management and an excellent track record.
- It’s ideal for universities, colleges, NHS trusts or housing associations looking for an alternative to fixed contracts or for those who find their current flexible contracts too restrictive.
