Energy procurement, rebuilt on AI-native infrastructure.
Lower bills, more transparency, total control.
A structured tender saves you serious money. Our back office saves you the rest — the hours, the admin, the hold music. All for one small fixed fee, agreed upfront — with nothing ever added to your unit rate.
Save thousands on your energy bill
Most businesses overpay without ever knowing it — a rate padded with commission, energy bought at the wrong moment, or a contract left to roll onto out-of-contract prices. Buy direct, on live market data, with your renewals managed for you, and the saving takes care of itself.
£10k–£40k saving
Direct supplier prices, nothing added — ever. We open up the whole market: 27 suppliers, tier-1 names to niche specialists, competing for your contract.
Live market data
AI-powered analysis of wholesale prices and supplier appetite — so you buy at the best time, not just at renewal.
Zero out-of-contract risk
Out-of-contract rates carry a 50–100% premium — the cost of a missed renewal. We manage your renewal windows so it never happens: positioned early, tracked continuously, never caught out.
Built for businesses that buy direct
Thousands of mid-market businesses manage their own energy — and have been doing it without the market data, supplier reach and negotiating leverage the biggest buyers take for granted. That’s the gap we close.
AI price timing and tools in your hands
The platform reads the market and calls the buying window — and the professional-grade tools behind it sit in your hands, not someone else’s.
Everything in one place
Every quote, contract, consumption feed and market movement in one portal — your tender visible end to end, with historical data on tap.
You stay in control
Every quote and every term visible, side by side. We recommend with full supporting data — the decision is always yours.
Everything in between is included
A tender is the deliverable — but energy doesn’t go quiet between tenders. The support around it comes included: your energy desk, without the headcount.
A dedicated, named account manager
Your single point of contact from day one — one person who knows your sites, your contracts and your priorities, backed by the 55-strong support team behind them. One name, one number, no call centre. And you never speak to an energy supplier again: 27 years of relationships give us direct priority lines into every supplier on our panel, so queries that would take you an afternoon on hold take us minutes.

Results
What it looks like in practice
Three tenders, three different businesses — the same pattern: a benchmark, a structured tender, and a saving that dwarfs the fee.
case study
Precision manufacturing
£27,400
saved per year vs the renewal offer
A 2.1 GWh single-site electricity supply, tendered nine months ahead of renewal. Wait & watch tracked the market through winter and locked in on a spring dip — well below the benchmark set at kick-off.
case study
Logistics & warehousing · 4 sites
£38,900
saved across the portfolio
Two larger sites went to full tender; two smaller supplies were priced from supplier matrices in the same exercise. Every offer normalised and compared side by side — one decision, four contracts aligned.
case study
Food & beverage production
£16,200
saved per year — first direct tender
A first-time direct buyer moving off a renewal letter. Discovery to award inside the first market window: a signed Letter of Authority, one 10-minute call, and a clear recommendation backed by every quote received.
