Tailored Energy Procurement for Businesses and TPIs
Energy procurement can be tricky, and ensuring you have a clear strategy is important. Our Flexible Energy plan helps you take control of and optimise your business energy strategy, take advantage of energy market lows and protect against market increases to secure your business energy.
Whether you’re a TPI helping clients navigate energy markets or a business looking to secure optimal energy pricing, our solutions are designed to deliver measurable value.
What is Flexible Energy Procurement?
Flexible energy procurement allows businesses to take advantage of price fluctuations in the energy market. By monitoring market trends and price changes, you can purchase energy when rates are low, avoiding price surges.
For TPIs, flexible procurement provides an opportunity to offer clients a strategic, data-driven approach to energy buying. For businesses, it’s a tailored strategy to reduce costs and meet unique energy needs.
How Does Flexible Energy Procurement Work?
With flexible energy tariffs, your business can buy energy at wholesale prices rather than committing to a fixed rate. This allows you to make smaller, more frequent purchases based on real-time market conditions and can help you capitalise on lower prices during times of reduced demand or oversupply. However, it requires careful management and a deep understanding of market dynamics.
For Businesses: This strategy lets you take advantage of price drops during periods of lower demand or market oversupply.
For TPIs: Flexible tariffs enable you to offer clients a robust, adaptable solution that evolves with market shifts.
Is Flexible Energy Procurement Right for Your Business or Clients?
For larger businesses with substantial energy needs, flexible procurement can unlock significant value, especially if you have a dedicated energy team to help you.
TPIs can benefit by integrating this strategy into their service portfolio to offer clients more value.
If you think a flexible energy procurement plan might be a good fit for you, you will need to consider:
- Risk Tolerance – Are you or your clients prepared for potential market fluctuations?
- Financial Stability –Can your business handle potential short-term price surges?
- Strategy – Is there a clear purchasing strategy to limit exposure during high price periods?
- Management Resources – Does your business have the resources to actively monitor and respond to market changes?
For many businesses, without a dedicated energy team to help you, flexible energy procurement can be tricky to navigate. If you’re unsure, partnering with energy specialists such as TPIs can help you navigate this strategy and determine the best fit for your operations.

Fixed energy contracts typically lock in a set rate for a specified term, protecting consumers from market fluctuations but potentially costing more if energy prices drop. Flexible contracts, on the other hand, allow rates to vary with market conditions, which can be cheaper when prices fall but risk becoming more expensive during market spikes if the strategy or execution does not limit upside risk.
The cost-effectiveness of each depends on market trends, individual risk tolerance, and consumption patterns. This means that the best option for you depends on the energy market’s current and projected behaviour, as well as your business energy goals. A TPI or energy specialist can help businesses align their choice with current and projected market conditions to meet energy goals.
Yes – there are benefits to flexible energy procurement for smaller businesses too. However, successful energy procurement requires careful monitoring of market trends, which may pose challenges for smaller businesses that don’t have dedicated resources or expertise in energy management. This is where it may be beneficial for smaller businesses to partner with a TPI, who can help them manage their energy strategy more effectively.
Businesses can achieve significant savings through flexible procurement, though there are several factors that can affect this, including market conditions, your purchasing strategy, and external events like natural disasters or geopolitical disruptions.
For TPIs: This is a chance to demonstrate expertise by helping clients implement strategies that maximise savings while minimising risks.
For Businesses: Collaborating with energy specialists ensures you’re prepared to navigate complex markets effectively.
Balancing flexibility and stability is essential. By sourcing your energy through an experienced supplier who specialises in business energy procurement, you can ensure you are equipped with the right strategies to protect against price spikes.
The best way for businesses to mitigate risk in flexible procurement is by seeking the help of a TPI who can guide you.
