Fixed Energy Procurement
Budget certainty in a volatile market
Fixed electricity and gas procurement locks in your price for your contract duration — providing cost certainty and removing exposure to market swings.
Because energy prices move daily, driven by geopolitics, weather, supply and demand, a fixed contract can make a real difference.
We secure a fixed contract that works for your business — running a competitive tender, timing the market, and locking in a rate that aligns with your priorities.
Is fixed procurement right for you?
Fixed procurement is ideal for businesses that value cost certainty and prefer to avoid ongoing market decisions.
It’s a strong fit for smaller estates, where simplicity and predictability outweigh the benefits of active trading.

Why it matters
-
Budget certainty
One price, one contract period, no surprises. Your costs stay predictable even when markets don’t.
-
Reduced exposure
Once locked in, you’re protected from price spikes for the contract term.
-
Minimal admin
A single contract with clear terms. No ongoing trading decisions, no daily price tracking, no complexity.
What fixed procurement is not
Fixed contracts suit many businesses, but they’re not right for everyone.
- Not a guarantee of the lowest price — timing and market conditions matter. Our fixed procurement service manages risk; it doesn’t eliminate it.
- Not your only option — flexible procurement often delivers better results by spreading purchases across a wider buying window.
- Not simply “getting quotes” — we run a structured tender process that goes beyond comparing headline rates.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between fixed or flex?
It comes down to your consumption profile, risk appetite and how hands-on you want to be. Smaller estates that value predictability usually favour fixed; energy-intensive organisations with volume to spread usually do better on flexible. We give an honest assessment either way.
When should I start my renewal process?
Earlier than most people think. Starting well ahead of your contract end date widens the buying window, which is the single biggest lever on the price you end up paying.
Why do fixed contracts sometimes cost more than expected?
A fixed price includes a supplier risk premium — the supplier is carrying the market risk on your behalf, and charges for it. That is the trade-off for certainty.
How do you compare supplier offers?
We run a structured tender with defined evaluation criteria so responses are genuinely comparable, then benchmark every offer against live market conditions rather than against each other alone.
