The tender desk

Every offer brought to the same line.

A headline rate is not enough. We build the tender from your account data, compare the full contract and give you a written recommendation.

Bills, contracts and meter details

A Level 1 Letter of Authority lets us collect supply data and advise on it. It does not let us sign a contract.

Read the offer properly

What can be fixed, and what can still move.

A rate is only comparable when each element is placed on the correct side of the line. We do not describe a network charge as fixed without the supplier’s written confirmation.

Contract position

Confirmed as fixed

  • Wholesale element for the agreed product term
  • Standing charges where the product states them
  • Omnium’s agreed margin where that is the payment basis
Pass-through position

Checked separately

  • Regulated network charges set outside the supplier
  • Anything not confirmed in writing as fixed

Client control

You sign every contract.

We gather the evidence, run the market and advise. You make the decision and sign with the supplier. The renewal date is then held so the account can be reviewed in time.

Question the renewal before anyone signs.

Use the embedded Ask Omnium widget to test a procurement point while the page is still in front of you. It can explain the tender route, Letter of Authority limits, commission disclosure and what needs checking before a recommendation is made.

  • No supplier recommendation is made inside the chat.
  • Commercial terms remain written and agreed before you sign.
  • Sources are taken from Omnium’s published pages and guides.

How to check this

Each claim on this page is answered by something you can read for yourself. Nothing below states a figure; it names the document or register the claim is held against.

  • Point 01

    We hold a Level 1 Letter of Authority only

    The authority wording sets out what we may do with your data and states that we cannot sign a contract on your behalf. Read it before you sign it.

    Read the Letter of Authority

  • Point 02

    How we are paid is agreed in writing before you sign

    Our margin or management fee is stated in the terms that accompany a recommendation, and nothing is added afterwards.

    Client terms and conditions

  • Point 03

    Every figure we quote carries a dated source document

    Records state the figure, what it is measured against, the document it is taken from and the date on that document. Records still held anonymous are labelled as such.

    Evidence records

  • Point 04

    We separate regulated charges from the part a supplier can hold

    Network and policy charges are set outside the supplier and reset each April for every supplier alike. We do not describe them as fixed unless we hold written confirmation for that product.

    Non-commodity charges

  • Point 05

    We work to a published code of conduct

    Our obligations as a third party intermediary, and what you can hold us to, are set out in full.
