Business Energy Procurement Services That Put You First
What is Business Energy Procurement?
Business energy procurement is the strategic process of sourcing, negotiating, and securing the best energy contracts for your business. It goes far beyond simply switching suppliers, it is about developing a comprehensive energy procurement strategy that aligns with your business objectives, budget constraints, and sustainability goals.
As a leading energy savings company, we have helped hundreds of UK businesses transform their approach to energy buying. Our energy procurement services combine market expertise, supplier relationships, and strategic timing to deliver measurable savings and long-term value.
Unlike transactional energy switching, professional business energy procurement considers multiple factors: market volatility, consumption patterns, contract timing, risk management, and your specific business requirements. This strategic approach is what separates an energy saving business from one that simply accepts whatever deal comes along.

Business Energy Procurement FAQs
What is the difference between energy procurement and energy switching?
Energy switching is simply changing suppliers for a potentially better rate. Business energy procurement is a strategic approach that includes market analysis, tender management, contract negotiation, risk assessment, and ongoing contract optimisation. It is the difference between transactional buying and strategic energy management.
How much can strategic energy procurement save my business?
Savings vary based on your current contracts and consumption, but our clients typically save 30 to 55% compared to out-of-contract rates and 15 to 35% compared to basic switching services. For a business spending £50,000 annually on energy, that could mean £7,500 to £17,500 in annual savings.
When should I start the procurement process?
Ideally, begin 4 to 6 months before your current contract expires. This gives us time to monitor markets, time the procurement optimally, and negotiate thoroughly. However, we can also help businesses currently out of contract or on expensive deemed rates.
Do you charge fees for your energy procurement services?
No. We are paid commission by suppliers when you switch, which is included in your tariff rate, the same rate you would get going direct. Unlike other brokers, we openly share exactly what we earn from every contract before you commit.
What types of businesses do you help with energy procurement?
We work with all business sizes and sectors, from small businesses with simple contracts to large multi-site enterprises with complex half-hourly metering. Our energy procurement services are tailored to each client’s specific needs.
Can you help with renewable energy procurement?
Absolutely. We specialise in sustainable energy procurement, offering 100% renewable electricity contracts, green gas options, and strategies that support your net-zero commitments while maintaining competitive pricing.
What is the tendering process in energy procurement?
We submit your energy requirements to our panel of 25+ suppliers who compete to win your business. This competitive tension drives down prices significantly compared to single-supplier negotiations. We then review all bids, negotiate further, and present you with the best options in clear, comparable terms.
How do I know if I am getting a good energy deal?
We provide transparent market benchmarking, showing you how your quoted rates compare to current market averages. We also explain contract terms, identify any unfavourable clauses, and ensure you understand exactly what you are agreeing to.
What happens when my energy contract is due for renewal?
Unlike brokers who disappear after the sale, we proactively contact you 4 to 6 months before expiry with fresh market analysis and new competitive quotes. We will never let you roll onto expensive out-of-contract rates.
Can you help if I am already in a contract?
Yes. We can review your current contract to identify when you can switch without penalties and set up proactive renewal reminders. We will also assess if early exit might save you money in certain circumstances.
What makes Energy Solutions different from other energy procurement companies?
Three things: (1) 100% transparent commission disclosure, (2) zero-pressure, consultative service, and (3) ongoing support throughout your contract. We are building long-term relationships, not just making quick sales.
Do you offer procurement for multi-site businesses?
Yes. We specialise in portfolio management for businesses with multiple locations. We will consolidate your sites, align renewal dates, negotiate bulk rates, and provide centralised contract management and reporting.

"Transparency I've never seen before"
They openly shared their commission structure and walked me through every contract clause. When they spotted a better deal mid-contract, they actually called to tell me—even though they wouldn’t earn from it. That’s the kind of integrity I want in a business partner.
