Procurement

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 before the renewal date is reached.

GatherBills, 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.

Take control with Omnium

Take control of the renewal before it becomes a rollover.

Electricity, gas and water run through the market together, with renewals managed ahead of the contract end date.

The market run on your behalf
Electricity, gas and water tendered together across single sites and multi-site estates.
Renewals managed ahead of time
Contracts are taken to the market before the end date, so nothing rolls onto out-of-contract rates.
Commission disclosed
Letter of Authority limits and what we are paid are disclosed, not hidden in the rate.
Nothing signed without you
Every recommendation goes to you for the decision; we do not sign on your behalf.

Where it goes wrong, and what we do about it

How Omnium solves it
We manage renewals ahead of the contract end date, so the market is tested before the rate changes, not after.
How Omnium solves it
Commission and Letter of Authority limits are disclosed, so what we are paid and what we are authorised to do is on record.
How Omnium solves it
We run the market for electricity, gas and water contracts across single sites and multi-site estates, so renewals can be aligned rather than handled piecemeal.

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.
